when I try to click a web link in my e-mail I get this message:

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

How do I undo this on my computer?

Sorry.. I though in my not-infinite wisdom, you would say if you were running 64bit or 32bit ...  that will start to matter in the coming months and years.




So, clicking on any link anywhere, except in a browser, (take that literally) will not open a browser?

Are you a part of a domain?

Try to reset IE. Go into Internet Explorer and reset the default settings: IE -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Restore Defaults. Shut down and restart Outlook. Try a link again.

Do you have any web browsers installed such as Chrome, netscape, safari, blah blah?
If you do launch IE >Tools> Internet Options>Programs> Make sure IE is selected as the Default Browser>Ok > Close IE
Launch Outlook then click on link inside email > verify if IE opens
If yes then select the browser you wish to use

let me know if this works
