url in my email
Every time I open an email and click on the url I get a notification that due to parameters on the computer I can not open the url. Just started happening after most recent Vista 64 upgrade through MS. Anybody now how to or what to go to change this security item. I am the administrator on my computer.

Have you tried copying and pasting in your browser address window?

Email Url's
Yes I have copied and paste in the address window. Sometime this will work and sometime it will not. Usually it is something very important when this method, for whatever reason, does not work. There has to be a setting change somewhere deep in the bowls of Vista 64 I can change back.

What are you using to check your email? look through the security settings chances are you just have it set to not allow you to open URL's or to only allow you to visit ones for sites that you have defined as trusted.

Sounds like its either a security setting in your Email program or Browser that is set to high.

Outlook 2007
I can now view the url if I right click on the hyperlink and copy to my outlook 2007 browser. I have looked at th security settings and it is set to medium. It must be something in the emails settings which I am not able to locate.

What program are you using to check your email and that will allow us to help you locate such settings.

Sorry for the long delay. I was on Holiday. I am currently using Vista Business 64. Outlook Express 2007. Everytime I click on a link within the email I get the message " this operation has been cancleled due to the restrictions on this computer. Contact your system administrator". It began to occur after a recent Windoes update. Thinking about switching over to thunderbird, but I do not know alot about it

Strange, I am pretty sure Vista now comes with "Windows Mail" and it's not called "Outlook Express" anymore. Or perhaps you have bought Microsoft Office 2007 which comes with "Outlook". Also in post #5, you invented something called "Outlook 2007 browser". Please get the names right, or people will have to guess at what program you are using. Cause either you're using "Outlook Express" (without the 2007), which means you are using Windows XP. Or you could be using "Outlook 2007", which came with "MS Office 2007". Or you are using Vista's "Mail".
