    Dear friends

    Whenever I click on the link in my outlook email message, it pops out a error

    This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.

    Hi there

    I read on Microsoft's website that this normally happens when you update your Internet Explorer. If you didn't the try these steps anyway:

    Internet Explorer 6

    1. Start Internet Explorer 6.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    3. Click the Programs tab, and then click the Reset Web Settings button.
    4. Under Internet programs, verify that the correct e-mail program is selected.
    5. Click to select the Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser check box.
    6. Click Apply, and then click OK.

    Note You may receive the following message when Internet Explorer starts:
    Internet Explorer is not currently your default browser. Would you like to make it your default browser?
    If you receive the message, click Yes.

    Internet Explorer 7

    1. Start Internet Explorer 7.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
    4. Click the Programs tab, and then click Set programs.
    5. Click Set Default Programs.
    6. Click to select Microsoft Outlook, and then click Set this program as default.
    7. Click OK, and then close the Default Programs dialog box.
    8. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Programs tab, and then click Make default under Default web browser.
    9. Click OK.



    Please let me know of this helped.

    Cheers
    Grant
