Hi,
When I click links in outlook or excel i get the following message
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator
I have follwed the steps on this article http://support.microsoft.c

My laptop isnt part of a domain so there are no restrictions on the computer.
Any ideas?

Have a look at this article. I have resolved this error by following the instructions.

The short version of the fix I've used is this.
Tools > Internet Options.
2. Click the Programs tab.
3. Click the Make Default button.
4. Click OK.
Now see if you can click the links in email. You may have to restart Outlook or Internet Explorer for this to work.
I read the KB article that you posted. My potential fixes mirror that. So, you may try a posted solution here within EE.

My fix was this from Microsoft.
Article ID: 310049 - Last Review: November 11, 2011 - Revision: 17.0
You receive an error message when you click a hyperlink in Outlook
Verify if the String (Default) value of the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \.html" key is "htmlfile"
1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \.html
4.Verify if the value of the String (Default) is "htmlfile". If it's not "htmlfile", right-click (Default), click Modify, input htmlfile in the Value data box, and then click OK.
5.Exit Registry Editor.
I exported the key from a PC that was functioning.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html]
"PerceivedType"="text"
@="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\P

If the microsoft fix does not work I would personally recommend using firefox. Should be using it anyway ;) IE is horrible. Seriously, I have seen many cases where performing the Microsoft fix does not fix the issue.
