Firefox only opens - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in effect on this account... »
I can't open firefox - everytime I try I get the above error message. It started after no apparent change or updates to my system, just a normal life stops. I tried to change the .htm, .html etc. register file names and reinstall as suggested, but it does not work. The only way I can open firefox after I reinstalled and it automatically launches a browser.
I can open firefox in a new user account that suggests something has changed in the account that I usually use, but I have no idea what since I didn't do myself any changes and you see nothing that suggests that it blocks firefox to open. I ran a virus scan and it is to come clean.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be very grateful for help.
Thank you.
Thank you both for your responses. I had tried all possible ways of opening firefox, including the direct use of firefox.exe and had also tried the suggestions in the link above, but had previously worked.
Having lived every suggestion I could find about the problem I'm afraid, I gave up looking and did a system restore that solved the problem!

Whenever I try to open Avira Antivrus and Windows Defender, I get this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator and I have not set restrictions. It worked, but started recently and I can't find answers. All solutions?
Hi I_GHall
It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.
If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

Original title: Error message
I created several hyperlinks in excel spreadsheets over the years. I created a refrencing today a location in the same workbook as the hyperlink and several places of the week refrencing last on my hard drive. None of the links work now.
All hyperlinks have worked in the past. Today, I got an error message "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "that's me, since this is my personal office. I made no changes in Excel or Windows.
Possible reasons?

It is a roaming profile with policies. When a USB flash drive is plugged in for the first time, it installs but with invites it multiple restriction. The drive can be accessed and be used as usual after instillation. If the player is plugged into the same computer for the second time, there is no prompt. This also occurs on the readers no U3. Works as usual later with newly charge of roaming profile.
To be clear, I want that users can access USB drives.
