Recently, I started to get this message when I tried to open a message/link in an email:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. I am running windows 7 and have made NO change. Can anyone help, regards Skippy007
It is an old question continually cultures upward, I think it started with Win98 or certainly WinXP. Go to control panel > default programs > set your default programs, select Internet Explorer and click on set this program as default.

The system is windows vista Home premium.
Have you installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)? If so, you need not and should not run Windows Defender. MSE does all what does Windows Defender and much more. Boulder computer Maven

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer"
There seems to be a lot of people who get this notification. Too bad Microsoft chose not to tell us why its happening!
Is it possible to disable this notification? I've made a few changes in group policy limit some startup programs. Now, I suppose that this appears when the program tries to start. Really irritating. Maybe there's something in group policy to restrict the notification? Then there will be another notification telling me that this notification applies? Laughing out loud!

I get this error message when I try to access the Tools - Internet Options tab in the web browser of Windows Explorer. Nothing has changed and I never had this pop up front and then came out of the blue and allow me to do anything. How can I disable this so I can access the Tools - Internet Options tab?

can someone help me with this issue please?Hi Parth1004,
1. you are the administrator of the computer?
2. the computer is on a domain network?
Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:
Method 1:
Step 1: Start in safe mode and check if the problem persists.
Start your computer in safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Step 2: If the problem does not occur in safe mode, you can put your system to boot (in normal mode) to solve the problem.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 provided in the above article.
Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.
Let us know the results.
