Error message: "Operation has been canceled" 1

[wlsimon]

Outlook, under Win XP Pro - When an email has a URL, clicking on the URL should open the appropriate page in the browser (IE). Instead, a message now comes up, "The operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
Used to work fine, until recently.
What needs to be reset to fix this?

Let me know if this fixes your problem.

Fantastic! Now why didn't that appear in the Outlook 2003 Help file? I use SlimBrowser and somehow this setting did get all fowled up. I just told slimBrowser to reset the web page and now Outlook worked.

I really appreaciate your answer and this website. It has helped me so many times over the years.
