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? Running windows 7 and it wasn't doing this with Vista |

Quoted: Quoted: what version of outlook and windows can clicking on any other links, sans outlook, invoke a browser? outlook 07 win 7 none of the links are working. I tried loking in outlook and internet properties. 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? |

So, clicking on any link anywhere, except in a browser, (take that literally) will not open a browser? 64 bit and no browser will open when clicking any links in my e-mails. Kind of a PITA when checking order status |

Should do the trick. -d didn't work Hmm.. you've got a different problem than most then. That has worked every time I've had that issue on a clients machine. -d |
