I do a Ctrl+click on the link. However get this message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer. Please contact the Administrator" Now, I am the Administrator, but don't know what to do next to solve this conundrum? Please HELP!	Misty (368)

1459824	2019-04-09 03:32:00	Thanks 1101 - However I do not have a Word (2007) shortcut on my desktop, I rely on a Word icon in the task bar, which doesn't give Properties when right clicking. I use Windows 10. I did manage to get this panel, which shows me (Jim) as having "Full Control". If only that were true! 9541 Have been Googling - but no joy yet.	Misty (368)
1459825	2019-04-09 03:43:00	Can you post a screen shot of the actual error. often people while trying to describe faults / errors while trying to be helpful actually don't describe it correctly. Sometimes the links wont open because IE is not your default browser, nothing to do with admin rights :) BTW-- Even if your account says its Administrator, its NOT the full administrator, look at it like half way between a standard user and Full Administrator ;)	wainuitech (129)
1459826	2019-04-09 03:47:00	Ive seen weird issues with Office 2010 that were only solved by making a shortcut & having that run as admin. ie , particular Excel & Outlook issues fixed by running those programs as admin . I dont have 10 in front of me , so from memory In the Win10 programs menu , there will be Word in there. Right click , more (or something like that) , run as admin. It may not be your fix, but its one of the first things to try File/folder Permissions is a totally separate thing (your screen shoot)	1101 (13337)

Might depend if you set Edge as the default browser, if any previous default browsers were disabled or removed, and Edge was set as default before removal(s). Try reactivating/re-installing previous browsers to test hyper-link clicking via word.	kahawai chaser (3545)

I used Firefox for many years before, more than ten anyway. So, I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, also then restarted the machine, but no joy. Next I uninstalled Chrome and left it off. Have not re-started the machine after that, but seems highly unlikely to make a difference. Many thanks for the suggestion, anyway!	Misty (368)

Chrome CAN cause all sorts of problems, you should restart the computer simply removing it doesn't get it uninstalled till after a reboot (Lots of programs are like that). Have a read of the following article, third party Browsers (chrome - Firefox) can play hell with hyperlinks. www.slipstick.com the article is about Outlook, but word is part and parcel /linked as well.	wainuitech (129)
