PC Restriction
1)When I click on a link in an Outlook email I started reciving over the last month a message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator".....I am the admininistrator Does anyone know what I've changed by accident that is causing this problem? Using Vista...thought it was related to the new Explorer 8 install but unloaded and reloaded 7 and still no luck......Since the versions of Explorer and Outlook are the same for all users and the others don't have this problem I'm at a loss as to what I have clicked to cause this problem....
