Outlook – Can’t open link when clicked

Outlook LogoThe other day I started having problems opening links that were emailed to me. I would get the message in Outlook and then click the link, but would get a message saying:

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on your computer.

The solution was to run the following commands from an elevated Command Prompt.

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.htm /ve /d htmlfile /f

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.html /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.shtml /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.xht /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.xhtml /ve /d htmlfile /f
