Unhappy Changing Default Browser in Outlook

I recently uninstalled Safari as my browser and have gone back to IE. The problem is that now when I click on a hypertext link in an Outlook e-mail, I get the error, "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer." Apparently it is looking for Safari and cannot find it.

Does anyone know how to change the default browser called out by hyperlinks in my Outlook e-mails?

Thanks much for any help you can provide.

Thanks. That didn't work exactly, but I tried your idea in IE: Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs: There is a section reading "Make IE your default browser" I clicked that and rebooted. All is well.
