URLs in Email disabled after automiatic Update

Hello. I run Outlook XP and Windows XP SP2, using POP and IMAP servers (no
Exchange) After a recent automatic Windows update, I find that I can no
longer click on a URL in an e-mail message and have a browser start. When I
scan the Web to find a solution, I find that the registry entry I must make
to allow this has already been made
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security\Level1Remove has value .url;.lnk;.mdb

There was something mentioned in the article describing this registry entry
about an Outlook Security Form overriding this setting, yet I don't find it
documented anywhere. The error message I get when I try to click on a link
is roughly:
"This operation was interrupted due to limitations on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator." (which would be me).

I would appreciate it if someone could shed light on this -- not being able
to click on web links is enough to make me shift to Thunderbird.

Thanks.

I have almost the same problem but I do use Outlook with an exchange server.
2 weeks ago I did install the latest security patches and suddenly the http
links don't work anymore.

I can't find back where to change the settings as outlook tries to find the
related link browser.
I did uninstall and re-install the whole 2003 office suite, but no result,
it is still broken.

Any ideas?
