SOLVED: Outlook Links Result in: This Operation Has Been Cancelled Due To Restrictions

When clicking a link from Outlook you see the following error popup:

Outlook This operation has been cancelled die to restrictions on this computer

The problem is that your Browser is apparently not set as default for Outlook.  Personally, I see this whenever someone installs/uninstalls Google Chrome.

There are two ready ways to fix this:

1. You can either use the Microsoft online FixIt tool HERE  or
2. Fix the registry yourself using the your browsers GUI:

• Start Internet Explorer.
• Click the Tools icon and click Internet Options.
• Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
• Click the Programs tab, and then click Set programs.
• Click Set your default programs.
• Click to select Microsoft Outlook, and then click Set this program as default.
• Click OK, and then close the Default Programs dialog box.
• In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Programs tab, and then click Make default under Default web browser.
• Click OK.
