I am running IE 7 (7.0.5600.16384) and Outlook 2007(12.0.4407.1004).

When I go to Internet Options, Programs, there is not an option to "Reset
Web Settings".

I am not able to open any hyperlinks on the system.

Thanks in Advance

I'm having the same problem. I have Vista Business and Outlook 2007. Just
switched from cable to DSL with AT&T. I also installed Pack 1. When I try
to open hyperlinks I get the msg: General Failure: The URL was: .....
Application not found. I tried to go to Reset Web Settings, but it wasn't
there. Any ideas? Thanks

I have that problem, but it now tells me that I can't open any link because
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator." I am the system
administrator and sole user. Any reason that this might have happened? I goof
around with adding and deleting programs, so something might have been
deleted . But repairing Outlook didn't help... I'm at a loss. Thanks.

I have tried all of the suggestions I can find in Discussion groups, and even
tried to uninstall and reinstall Office... no luck. This is very
frustrating. Any other suggestions?

Thanks a lot Brian. The whole problem was related to uninstalling af Google
Chrome. The link you provided did the trick.

The thread is over 4 YEARS OLD (with an update over 1-1/2 YEARS AGO by
another post who tried to hijack the old thread but didn't notice or care
about the datestamps). No need to chime in with a "me too" reply on an
ancient thread.

Actually, the post that reports the cause (uninstalling chrome) may prove
helpful to anyone who finds the thread and wonders if it will work for them.
