I am having a highly annoying problem on Windows 7 with Microsoft Outlook 2007.
Whenever I click on any hyperlinks I am present with the message
This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator
and let's not forget the most ear-piecing "DING" to accompany this wonderful informative message.
Now I have searched the web high and low for a solution here and most sources suggest the same solution of resetting your IE as your default browser.
Tried .. failed
A lot of sources suggest this has something to do with installing and uninstalling chrome.
I have never installed Chrome but am actually consdering this to see if it by some chance fixes my computer.
A lot of sources also point to a Microsoft KB article 325478 which is focused around Windows XP and totally unrelated to my problem.
I see there are some other queries on SuperUser with no resolution.
Please can someone help solve this highly annoying issue.
I am running:
- Windows 7 Professional x64
- Microsoft Office 2007
- Microsoft Security Essentials
Running in a Windows work group with default policy settings

Microsoft has a solution page for your problem: You receive an error message when you click a hyperlink in Outlook.
If it does not help, you may want to look at this.
PS: There is the same problem discussed on Microsoft Social Answers. It is claimed that the problem is solved after a Microsoft Office update.
