Windows Explorer error "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer"
Original title: Error Message Windows Explorer
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. »
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? Have already tried to reload Windows Explorer without modification.
Thnx Samhrutha,
Actually found an answer in the MS help section who told me how to clear registry key that cut my ability to use the Tools menu. Not sure how this key get updates in like it was working very well and then, bang, not so well. Have a blessed Christmas.

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

Hello
read this information on the Defender:
· If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default
the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender
and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware
It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do
If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable
and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/remove-Windows-Defender-from-Vista-system-startup/
and this is how you would normally activate or disable windows defender in vista from within defenders of own and options tools
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-for-Microsoft-Vista/
and read this information to microsoft:
Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849
and if you need to change startup programs read this information on the other methods of doing it without using defender
using msconfig read this tutorial:
How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista
Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup

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?

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.
