When click on link in Outlook 2007 get"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrato

Don't know if this is an Outlook problem or not. Firefox was recently reinstalled and Outlook has not been touched at all so presume it is Firefox issue. Have been able to click on links sent to me on email and Firefox immediately opened but no longer.

This is being blocked by your operating system. Please also ask Window's support to change any https or program setting that would block this action.

  • In Outlook, when clicking on any hyperlink, I am getting the message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." How can I fix this?

    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.

  • 'The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer' prompts when firefox is started.

    When I tried to open Firefox, it displayed a pop-up saying that 'The operation has been canceled due to the restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact system administrator'. Even if I logged in as system administrator and tried to start Firefox, it showed me the same pop-up. The problem started from today morning. Yesterday, I was using Firefox and it worked for me. But for quite few days even though if I closed the window it was still running. Next time if I need to start Firefox, I need to close it from the Task manager and then need to start it. Not sure how to fix this problem. Now, I uninstall ed the older version (3.5.0 not sure) and updated with 3.6.3. Then also it shows me the same pop-up.

  • This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect....opening Word docs from link in web page

    It's the ahla.org website.  It has both pdf files and Word docs.  The pdf links open in the browser or Adobe but the Word doc links open the option at the bottom of IE11 that just says "Open" or "Cancel".  When I choose
    open, it gives the error about policy restrictions or something similar depending on if it's Word 2007 or 2013.  If I could even find an option to have it "Save" and open after download that would be helpful.  I can right click the link
    and choose save as but this is an office full of attorneys and they can't find the download folder afterwards.
    This isn't the issue with Chrome being installed/uninstalled because it does it on computers where it's never been installed.  It's not a group policy setting as it does it at the office or home PC.

    Hi,
    ahla.org redirects to
    https://www.healthlawyers.org/Pages/home.aspx
    ... its a mess
    eg. the login link is http://admin.healthlawyers.org:8080/_login
    any error message with "Restriction" in it is from Group Policy.
    what you can try
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    Trusted Sites icon, sites button, remove ANY reference to
    http://ahla.org or http(s)://www.healthlawyers.org (IE has security restrictions preventing navigation between sites of lower integrity).... Other userAgents do not use the same security model as MSIE.
    the https protocol (secure web sites) works in any IE security zone.... If a site uses https, you do not have to place it in the Trusted sites list. It should work (encrypt) just as well in the internet zone (default).
    Hover the mouse over the pdf/doc hyperlink... its uri will appear in the status bar or at the bottom of the IE window... note its address. IT MUST point to the healthlawers.org domain. It should also be using the same protocol as the current web page. If it
    uses the https protocol, check "Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
    As I said.... it is likely that the above settings are controlled by Group Policy.

  • Hyperlinks in Outlook error "the operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer"

    A user started getting this error message when clicking on any hyperlinks from outlook. We have not made any changes to his policy or computer. When I searched
    the issue a Microsoft article said to reset IE to default but that did not work. I also tried re installing it completely but no luck.

    Hi,
    Do you hava other web browsers (such as Chrome or Firefox) installed before? Did you uninstall the browser without setting Internet Explorer as the default browser? If this is the case, we may try the following steps to fix the issue:
    1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
    2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html
    3.
    Right click the value for the .html key and select Modify.
    4. Change the value from “ChromeHTML” (or
    FireFoxHTML or something else ) to “htmlfile”.
    5.
    Repeat step 4 for .htm, shtml, .xht, .xhtml, .xhtm keys.
    6. Exit Registry Editor and restart Outlook to see the result.
    Pleas let me know the result.

    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:

  • Firefox won't open - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in place on this account..."

    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.
    Thank you.

  • I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
    General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.
    Yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.
