This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.

Do you have this error?
I've seen it before, and recently saw it again.  But I noticed I didn't have it on my internet cache of things I do all the time, so I'm adding it here.
First,
Close Outlook
Then reset IE to factory defaults
(Tools, Internet Options, Advanced Tab, Reset, click the checkbox for personal settings also.)
Let it do its thing, close IE and open it back up
Selected the option to set IE as the default browser and try Outlook links again.

Still not working?
Time for some regediting
go to the registry editor (run 'regedit') and find this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\
we are going to change .html extensions from either ChromeHTML or FireFoxHTML to HTMLfile.
I also go through and change .htm, .xhtml, etc. to HTMLfile.  Whatever was pointing to Chrome of Firefox, change to HTMLfile.
Try Outlook again and you'll notice the 'restrictions' message doesn't come up, rather the linked webpage did.
If it didn't, make sure you followed the directions here, if it still doesn't work let me know if you find some other solution!
