Hyperlinks disabled in Outlook 2007

[JDM]

I'm still having this same problem. Goes across all of my accounts, of which
AKO is one. Some text based messages are okay. Some not. No HTML based
messages work. Doesn't seem to matter what zone I put them in.

The problem seems to have started when that patch from couple of months back
came out. Will someone at MS please look at what that patch changed (as has
been requested? I've been out of the development game for a while but I can
work my way through a scenario like: 1. Outlook was fine. 2. Applied a
"fix". 3. Now Outlook is not fine. Gee, I wonder what the problem is?
Let's go blame it on something that did not change. Sorry. That doesn't fly.

No wonder I'm spending more and more time using freeware packages on my Mac.

Using Outlook 2007. My error says "This operation has been canceled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact syatem admin." I am
the system admin. In association with my network consultant, we have reset
every security setting in IE, Outlook, Exchange, etc. Problem still
persists. Upgraded to IE 8 hoping that would sort it out. No dice.

My problem also started mid-April and I can only assume it was related to
the same patch mentioned already in the post.

No hyperlink from any email message will open from Outlook, but the same
messages will open if I forward them to a webmail app through IE - using the
same PC.

No other user on my network encounteres this problem. I am quite certain
the issue is within my Outlook.

And did you reregister your web browser as stated in one of the hundreds, if
not thousands, of messages a five second search of this newsgroup for that
error would have found?

A WORKAROUND FOR THE BLOCKEDHTTP ERROR.... NOTE THIS IS DIFFERENT FRO
THE BLOCKED::HTTP ERROR




Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

*******************************ADD THE ABOVE TO TH
REGISTRY*****************************
YOU CAN DO THIS BY COPY PASTING
INTO NOTEPAD, THEN SAVE AS
WHATEVER.REG, THEN MERGE INTO
YOUR CURRENT REGISTRY
BASICALLY INSTEAD OF CALLING FF
RIGHT AWAY, IT TAKES YOUR URL
AND THEN CALLS A BATCH FILE
THAT WILL REMOVE THE BLOCKED
PART OF BLOCKEDHTTP AND
BLOCKEDHTTPS, CHANGING IT TO
HTTP AND HTTPS RESPECTIVELY

YOU CAN ADJUST FOR IE BY
REPLACING ALL THE FF STUFF
WITH IE STUFF....

MAKE THE BELOW PART INTO A
BATCH FILE, FF.BAT, AND SAVE
TO C:\FF.BAT
*****************************************************************************************

SET URL=%~1
SET URL=%URL:blocked= %
ECHO CALLEDURL: %URL%
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MOZILLA FIREFOX\FIREFOX.EXE" -URL "%URL%"

What good is this forum for if one cannot get the information needed to solve
an imminent and apparently wide spread problem. I “up-graded†to windows 7
recently [after problem plagued years suffering VISTA] and now Outlook 2007
is giving me this message when trying to open a hyperlink in an e-mail: “This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Please contact your systems administrator.†I am a single “home
professional†user – there is no third party administrator in a Windows 7
Home edition.
If Microsoft is not listening to its customers, it might be time to contact
Milberg LLC? Any Lawyers out there to help getting answers?

Just WHO do you think you're talking to here? You thought this was some
venue for free support from Microsoft? No one here has to give you any
help. No one here has to be a guru or expert or give you the correct advice
that addresses your particular problem. Everyone here is a volunteer. I
suppose if you were destitute and going through the food shelf line that
you'd bitch that they didn't carry white American cheese and only had the
yellow colored stuff.

I'm runnung Windows 7 Ultimate, Office 2007. All the service packs/
updates have been applied. I followed the link to the answer that
"has been answered at least a thousand times here in this
newsgroup, as a five second Google search would have shown you" and
still have the same issue. I completely understand the frustration
one experiences when they feel that they have provided the answer to
the same question countless times. However, I can attest to the fact
that the reference provided ultimately did not provide a solution to
the problem. At the risk of being chastised for being redundant, I
need to ask if there are any OTHER potential causes/solutions to this
issue.
Thanks in advance.
