Microsoft Outlook 2007 External Link Problem

[nin137]

I am unable to follow an external link in any email sent to my Outlook 2007 account. Whenever I try to follow such link a message pops up stating:

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

This is a personal computer that I use for business purposes (it's not my employer's computer). I am the administrator and am running Microsoft Vista.

Is there an option that I need to tinker with in Microsoft Outlook? Or is this an issue that I would have to deal with in the Control Panel?

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried turning UAC off?

It's not a UAC issue .. it's a registry corruption issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310049

Statica - that is what I tried next. I found the .htm, .html, and .shtml keys and edited them. They were pointing to Opera whereas I am using Chrome now. Once I changed the values to ChromeHTML the links worked fine.

Thanks for the help!
