Vista Ultimate x64, Outlook 2003 and IE7: Whenever I click on a link in my
Outlook inbox, I receive an error message "this operation has been canceled
due to restrictions on this computer". How can I change this? It's
frustrating to have to copy and paste links into IE7. I am running as
admin.

It's an IE error. reset web settings in IE's tools, options.

Thanks for the feedback. However, the below response from
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security posted by Jesper corrected the
problem. I did indeed attempt to load Firefox (which doesn't work in
Vista), and resetting the default browser to IE in the Default Programs
control panel corrected all. Thanks again to Jesper.

Post by Jesper:

"Now, if you hadn't installed Firefox you wouldn't have that problem. :-)

Seriously, that's actually it. There is a conflict in which program should
handle it. To fix it you need to make IE your default browser. To do so,
open
the Default Programs control panel, select "Set your default programs", and
make sure IE has all its defaults."
