Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

I have Windows XP and microsoft outlook with Firefox as my browser; when I try to open a link in an email I get the following message "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator"

I can't open firefox - every time I try I get the above error message. This has started after no apparent changes or updates to my system, just a normal shut down. I have tried changing the registry .htm, .html etc. file names and reinstalling as suggested but this doesn't work. The only way I can open firefox is after I have reinstalled it and it automatically launches a browser.
I can open firefox in a new user account which suggests something has changed in the account I usually use but I have no idea what since I have not made any changes myself and can't see anything that would suggest it is blocking firefox from opening. I've run a virus scan and it is coming up clean.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be very grateful for some help.

Looking at other forums, this problem is related to the browser settings. As I use Firefox 3.5.11 I'm hoping this forum will work.

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions... - Office 2013 (Windows 2012R2 RDS)
Hello,
We've got an Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server farm for Multi tenant pursoses. therefor we've decided to use the following GPO setting: "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" in combination with the "Hide the following drives"
for both settings we've set the C: drive to be inaccessible through regular browsing. This causes an issue when users, that open up their documents from an outlook attachement or an internet explorer webpage. Is there a way to get around the error message:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" or perhaps change the error.
I've already been experimenting with the outlooksecuretemp registry and setting the temp/tmp environment variable to another location which then allows users to save in an temp folder but prevents the message, this then causes documents
to get lost since such a location gets auto cleaned after logging off. Due to multitenant purposes i dont want to change 2 GPO settings mentioned earlier.
I did how ever found the setting: "File open/save Dialog" (+ "Approved Locations") setting which prevents the error message but therefor causes other issues. Like beeing unable to press a library or explorer.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent the error message?
Thanks!! And when more information is required please let me know so i'll try to explain the exact situation.
Regards,
DennisI have the same issue as Dennis described. Environment is Server 2012R2 and Office 2013.
"Restrict Access to the Following Drives" and "Hide the following drives" are set
After the users have opened an attachement, a pdf for example, and then hit 'save as' the error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this Computer. Contact your Administrator" occurs. Finally it
showed the save as dialag and pointed to redirected documents.
I've also tried to set the 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' to the value U:\ in HCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security. Drive U:\ is mapped correctly.
But when I have opened the attachment, the registry value has changed to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\....
BTW: In a Server 2008R2 environment with Office 2010 the modified 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' worked like charm.
Any new ideas?

Here is our environment: Windows Server 2008 x86 SP2 Terminal Server running Citrix XenApp5.0 with Office 2007 installed. We have a Group Policy to restrict users from access the server's C:\ drive. When our users open or save a Microsoft
Word, Excel, etc. document they are presented with the following error. "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your systems administrator." When our users click on the OK button it
allows them to open or save the document. If I remove the restriction to C:\ from our Group Policy, then everything is working fine. Please tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks.Hi Jeffery,
Unfortunately, I could not work around this and MS said it was by design. I even tried some clever stuff with symbolic link s but to no avail. I simply ended up informing my users to ignore the message and continue. i don't want anyone to be able to browse
the C: drive so I'm leaving the NoViewOnDrives registry key in place. However, there is one possible workaround but for me , it didn't suit:
Change the temp location of the folder Outlook uses for attachments
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878
Also, I'd recommend forcing all attachments to open in read-only mode http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953621
Annoying but you can't have everything i guess :( -
[Win Server 2008 R2]This Operation Has Been Cancelled Due to Restrictions in Effect on This Computer
Environment:
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 as DC
2 Domain administrator accounts: the built-in Administrator and a manually created which belongs to the Administrator group
Problem Description:
When I logged into the server using the Administrator account, I can't open any administration/management Windows application such as:
Command Prompt
Computer Management
Any application located in Administrative Tools
A popup called "Restrictions" appears with the message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator". I am the system administrator and I've
no clue about this issue!
Besides, there's no "Run..." option in the Start Menu and you
can't access to any network path (i.e \\IP_Address) from Windows Explorer: you receive the error message "Accessing to the resource '\\IP_Address' has been disallowed".
Prior To The Problem:
I did the following actions:
Managed some AD users, groups and OU by moving, editing or deleting.
Managed some shared folders on D drive by deleting the folder or changing some Security rights.
I HAVEN'T TOUCHED ANYTHING RELATED TO GPO!
Prior to these actions, everything was fine and I never received these error messages.
What I Did So Far:
The only thing I did is that I reset the settings of Internet Explorer in the Advanced tab and restarted the server. Unfortunately, it didn't change anything. I didn't know what to do else and I can't seem to find a similar situation as mine. Surely, there
are many posts related to this error message, but none of them implies the denial of access to every administrative Windows application with the Administrator account.
Therefore, I'm really seeking the help of the community to tackle this weird and annoying issue.
Thanks in advance.Even if you do changes in Internet explorer settings it does not give any login/access problems in a server.
Since it is a DC local administrator account won't be available unless and otherwise you enable option "Logon locally" So use domain admin account for accessing DC resources like CMD prompt, AD tools.
"Run" is hidden in Windows server 2008 , you have to search in
start or Use Win Key+R.
So, check above two steps and access UNC paths

This only started happening after the 3.6.14 update. -

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions....
I've been testing Windows 7 RTM for my company lately. So far it has been working great...until I installed JRE.
Here, we have some accounts restricted to the point that only a set list of EXEs are allowed to run. When we had Windows XP, there wasn't a problem. javaw.exe was part of the allowed programs.
While testing Windows 7, I came across this error immediately after opening Internet Explorer: "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer."
I disabled the GPO temporarily that controls the allowed EXEs and that message went away. If the GPO is enabled, it comes back. Furthermore, I uninstalled Java to see if it would come up with the GPO enabled. Everything was flawless!
What am I missing that starts with IE for Java??dudleyb wrote:
What am I missing that starts with IE for Java??As a thought....
Where does IE come up?
When I start IE I always configure it to start blank (browser line says "about:blank"). If you are instead going to a location that location might require java.
If that doesn't help then someone in the GUI forums might know what IE does on startup that might cause problems with that (like preloading the VM.) -
I don't know what I changed yesterday on Firefox so that it saves the "cookies" from certain sites, but I must have changed something that I didn't meant to.
Now when I am in Outlook and I want to click on any of the links I get an error -
THIS OPERATION HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT ON THIS COMPUTER.
Help....Does this help?
