Description of the Microsoft Windows registry
Consider the following scenario. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Microsoft Office 2003 are installed on a Microsoft Window XP-based computer or on a Microsoft Window 2000-based computer. Additionally, you enable the "Run only allowed Windows applications" policy for iexplore.exe. When you click a hyperlink in an Office 2003 program, a Web page is opened in a new Internet Explorer 6 window. Then, you upgrade from Internet Explorer 6 to Windows Internet Explorer 7. In this scenario, when you click a hyperlink in an Office 2003 program to open a Web page in a new Internet Explorer 7 window, you receive the following error message:
This operation has been canceled due to restrictions, please contact your system administrator
When you upgrade from Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 7, the value of the (Default) registry entry is changed as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome
When you use Internet Explorer 6, the value of the (Default) registry entry is as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
- Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command
- Double-click (Default).
- In the Edit String dialog box, type "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome, and then click OK.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
