The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q162331
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
SYMPTOMS
When you start Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error
message:
Restrictions:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on
this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
CAUSE
A system policy has been created with Iexplore.exe as one of the programs
listed in the "Run Only Allowed Windows Applications" section.
RESOLUTION
If Iexplore.exe has not been added to the list of allowed programs,
contact your system administrator.
If Iexplore.exe has been added to the list of allowed programs, log on with
administrative privileges and add quotation marks to the beginning and end
of the string in the registry that points to the path for Iexplore.exe.
Use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to make the changes as follows:
- Start Regedt32.exe and locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}
\Shell\Open\Comma - Double-click the "<no name>:REG_SZ:" value.
- In the string editor, add leading and trailing quotation marks so the
string reads:
c:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\Iexplore.exe - Quit Registry Editor and restart the computer.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
