I am having a problem where I cannot click on links in any Office 2010 program. Whenever I click a link I get the following error message:
This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
It does not matter if I created the link, it does not matter if the link is to another file on my computer. I am running everything in a standard, non-admin account.
What I've tried so far
- Run Office in a full admin account
- Set IE8 as default browser and reset all web settings
- Play with various phishing and security settings in Outlook
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Office 2010 x64 Pro. I have the latest updates on Windows, IE8, Firefox (normally my default), and Office. I have all the UAC turned on because I want principle of least privilege :-). Of course as I said, I've already tried on my admin account and still no luck. Any ideas?

You don't have any group policies defined on the machine that could be having an effect? – DMA57361 – 2010-09-14T16:41:59.670
I'm going to try and look. I didn't see anything in the "Local Security Policies" but I'll check my group policies right now. I never added anything explicitly, but perhaps Microsoft Security Essentials (should have mentioned that I have that) or some other setting implicitly adds the restriction there. – Jay – 2010-09-14T17:23:57.083
Just checking back...I went through all the policies and couldn't find anything. Any other ideas? – Jay – 2010-09-16T23:45:35.307
