I used CCleaner and Registry Cleaner and I get the following error when trying to activate a hyperlink with my Outlook e-mail:
"The operation has been cancelled due to restriction on this computer, contact systems administrator."
I tried to restore my registry by Merging my saved registry back-up and get this error:
"Cannot import C:\users\od\documents\cc_20101115_065558.reg: not all data successfully written to registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."
I know this is not the first time this problem has been addressed. I cannot find were someone has had the specific errors above. If anyone has had similar errors I would appreciate your solution.
Thank you Nergal, I am using Vista Home OS. Are you suggesting that I import a file? Which file? "Open regedit (Run > regedit)
and do file > import"

it sounds like your user is not running with admin privilages when you merge (NOT THE SAME THING AS BEING AN ADMINISTRATOR) so in order to reintergrate the removed reg file you must import it via the file menu
I performed REGEDIT > IMPORT > The Reg file. I get the same message as before as when I tried to merge it?
"Cannot import C:\users\od\documents\cc_20101115_065558.reg: not all data successfully written to registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."
A very common question in the Microsoft public newsgroups goes something like this:
When clicking on a hyperlink in an e-mail, I get this Message : "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I get this message every time that I attempt to use the hyperlink. I am the administrator on this stand alone computer. How do I deactivate this feature so that I activate hyperlinks ?
This is not an Outlook error. The most common cause is a corrupt registry key in Internet Explorer. The registry key found at
To fix it, try resetting Web settings in Internet Explorer. If this does not resolve the issue, set IE as the default browser following the steps in Set Program Access in Control Panel. If you use a different browser as your default, you need to set IE as the default until you verify the links work in Outlook.
If you uninstalled Chrome (or Firefox) and then received the error, see Edit Registry, Part 2
In addition to Chrome and Firefox, other HTML rendering and editing programs may take the HTML open command and cause this error. Greg reports UltraEdit is one such program. See Edit Registry, Part 2 for the fix
