    hi Friends/Masters.

    i don't know if it is the correct section, i am sorry if i am wrong here......
    My PC is running with Win 7 and now i have noticed when i am intending to open a linl with clicking on it ( from my E-mail for example), i am getting a window with "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. PLease contact your system administrator". it was ok before one week. i am the only Person who has an account with this PC. what can be the prob,?? thanking you all in advance.......Chris.

    Did you recently uninstall Firefox or Chrome?

    This is also a "feature" in Outlook. Wishing you well in retrospect.

    Click Start, type "regedit" (w/o the quotes) in the search bar and press enter.

    In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes

    In the Classes key, click the .htm subkey and then look at the right side of the screen. You should see the following:

    (Default) REG_SZ ChromeHTML

    Double click on (Default) and change the value to "htmlfile" (again, w/o the quotes)

    Do the same for the .html and .shtml subkeys.

    Restart your computer, check if the problem has been resolved and post status :)
