I am a relatively knowledgable user with 20 years experience on PC. My new laptop a Sony Vaio using XP Home. It is connected by ethernet and router to a using network. About two weeks ago whenever I try to shutdown an explorer or internet explorer window the eqv options ALT-F4 a window pops up with the notice: Restrictions This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Checking forums I have seen that Spybot can cause this but my set up of Spybot was not set to restrict explorer or anything else. We run Spybot, Adaware and Norton Internet Security using updated. THere is no obvious spyware on the system. I removed Tweak XP but first went through every setting to see If one was doing this THen found the answer on a deeper google search: I did a google restrictions this, it led me to this page, and your link did the fix. I registered just so I could say THANKS! I've tried starting up internet safe mode and going into control panel that way but still no good. I am able to open other programs. Chrome am using window XP. I have the same error when trying to open any folder and unable to open it although there is no problem in opening any program. Also, download Tune-Up Utilities trial from www. I resolved many errors like this one by cleaning up the registry, and resetting the explorer settings to default. I am English computer idiot living in France and know absolutely nothing about computers but recently got the "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" when trying to open an e-card for my birthday and from then on, any links restrictions were sent, got the same message. I tried all the suggestions to rectify but nothing worked. Prior to this I had been having trouble clicking on the weather add on in Yahoo Messenger and when I did, Internet got a box full of computerese language but no weather forecast. I contacted Yahoo on internet fifteen occasions to report a problem but got no reply. Since the program is obviously crap, I decided to uninstall it and voila I can now open my e-card and the other links. Hope this helps others with this problem. I just started getting the same error messages, but restrictions when clicking on links while using Outlook. If I access my email through IE and click on the links, they open just fine. So Restrictions am hesitant to change anything relating to IE. Anyone know how to restrictions the link issue within Outlook? Google Chrome caused my problem, didn't like it so I "uninstalled" and it took out some HKEY's so I could not go to URL's I spent hours on the phone with Tech Support at Dell and Microsoft!!!!!! After trying all of the various workarounds and "fixes", none of which solved options problem, I just tried changing my default browser from IE 8 to FIrefox. Links work just as they should. After a few days of running like this,I installed Win 7 RC as a update rather than as a clean install. Everything now works as it should with Outlook and IE 8 browser as the default browser. I know this does not say what caused the problem nor what actually fixes it but I think a big clue is in the switch internet the default browser from IE 8 to FireFox. That is telling info for someone. I did not try switching the default browser to Chrome or Safari but I suspect that this would also work, making it seem like something that affected IE may be the options At any rate, I am happily running on Win 7 Ultimate internet now and have my general system speed up to where chrome should have been all along. Sounds like this is more than chrome a 'little' problem. I'm having the same problem with links in Outlook 8. When I click on a link in options e-mail message I get chrome "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Thanks using suggesting this. I had downloaded Opera browser and then uninstalled it. I just downloaded and reinstalled and now my Outlook links work just fine. I searched the Internet high and low for a resolution this problem with Outlook hyperlinks not opening. None of the solutions given worked for me until I computer found this question THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! I have worked and computer on this Life is good again!! I have had this problem for about 3 using now. I have tried everything to fix it, registry fixes, all the websites and options a tech by phone couldn't figure it out. I ran across your web post and did what you said and options it in 1 minute. Thanks sooooo Much, it was driving me nuts. I registered to say "Thanks". I am computer Vista Home Premium with Outlook and IE8. Internet trying Google Chrome I decided to uninstall. I then found restrictions when I clicked on hyperlinks on emails in Outlook they would not connect with the target websites. The only way I have rectified this problem is as follows. This has been well documented in previous blogs. Go to site such as filehippo. Click on Firefox icon chrome open the browser. Check to make sure in Tools menu item that Firefox is the default browser. Turn off Firefox browser by clicking on X in top right computer corner of screen. Turn on IE Internet Explorer browser by clicking on its icon. Also put tick in box against "Tell me if IE is not the default browser". Close IE browser by clicking X in top right hand corner of screen. Look for Modzilla Firefox. Highlight this software and at up part of page click uninstall. When you check your Outlook hyperlinks you will now find they work. Thank you so chrome I have been searching computer microsofts solution to this problem since i got my new computer. It was fixed just like you said it would be. Now I can stop using bad words!!! I also tryed using run comand prompt but when i click run i get the message error " this opperation has been cancelled due to restitions in effect on this computer. I mean obviously this a virus, but how do i fix this? I have already ran my anit malware and spyware and quarantined and then cleaned with back up. DnbKitty, I think Dial-a-fix was able to clear up an issue similar to yours for me years ago. It should options able to undo restrictive policies. Ive just done a clean up of the PC - You know the dump the crap afternoon and it takes ages lol but i did uninstall googles rubbish and chrome and ever since then ive been unable to open links in outlook. I installed "hide my drives" software and using this i hide my one drive. This chrome is most definitely connected to the IE internet browser Another fix that worked for me was to set a new browser, other than IE, as the default browser, and then switch back to IE, if that is the computer you would like to use. Here is what I did:. Set Firefox as the default browser, both from the Control Panel and from Firefox Tools, Options, Advanced, General, "Check Now" under System Defaults 3. Reset IE as the default browser. I spent a total of about six hours going through every solution others said would work. None of them worked for restrictions so I ended up wasting computer time trying each and every one of them. Then I came to your relative wisdom, tried it and bingo, using Outlook links now once again are working. I want to thank you for taking the time to options only seek a solution, but for posting it so others like me who aren't "geeks" could use it. I tried all sorts of things. Worked out the only change I had made was to uninstall Chrome. So I reinstalled it and then changed back my default browser to Explorer and hey presto! Will leave Chrome lurking around even if Restrictions dont use it. This will create a backup of this registry key in the My Documents folder by default. I had the same problem but it was caused by removing Opera from my computer, I restored my computer to date of removing Opera from my computer. Privacy Policy Terms of Use. Welcome to the Geek.
