When clicking hyperlinks in Outlook, you may receive the following error:

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

To fix this error:

  1. Close Outlook and Internet Explorer, if they are currently open.
  2. Download the Microsoft Fixit app for this issue.                                          
  3. Click Run in the File Download dialog box, and follow the steps in the wizard.
  4. Once the Fixit App has completed, open Outlook. Hyperlinks should now open without the error message.
