Trying to open a hyperlink in Microsoft Office Outlook - you recieve the following error message and subsequently cannot open the hyperlinks:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Cause: Upgrading Internet Explorer from a previous version or uninstalling Google Chrome can corrupt dependent registry keys.
Following the simple steps below will help fix the issue:
1. Reset Internet Explorer settings to default and retest. If this does not work move on to step 2.
2. Set Internet Explorer as your default Browser - restart & retest - if no dice then move to step 3.
3. Open a Command prompt as Administrador on Windows Vista or Windows 7. Then copy and paste the following info line by line - pressing the enter key on your keyboard to initialise each command:
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.htm /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.shtml /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.xht /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.xhtml /ve /d htmlfile /f

Wow - it worked! I've been trying everything the last few days and getting advice from other sites - including changing the registry etc. But the registry command options you listed worked a treat.
Thank you sooooo much.

Well, good for all the rest of you because NONE of these steps worked for me! Not even the manual registry key entries, and I double-checked to make sure they existed after copy/pasting them into a command prompt. (Yes, I opened it as Administrator.)
Restarted IE. FAIL- Still the same error.
Restarted the computer. FAIL - Still the same error.
Complete waste of time.

Worked for me too. I was stumped. At first I thought step 3 didn't work for me, but I rebooted, tried the links again, and SCORE!
