How do I fix Microsoft Outlook 2007 to enable the use of hyperlinks?

I am having issues with Outlook 2007 not allowing me to click on the hyperlinks. It says something like:
This operation has been canceled due to security restriction in this computer (don't know if this is the exact translation, cause I get this error in portuguese.) Already tried the solution of this post:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23100255/How-do-I-fix-Microsoft-Outlook-2007-to-enable-the-use-of-hyperlinks.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+"oper+ha+been+cancel"+2007+outlook+vista

But some things explained there do not apply to vista. For example, in folder option there is no File Types tab. Also I already changed the registry values as described and nothing changes. Already tries other solutions as to set IE as default browser and restart. Nothing. If someone knows, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks

I found a section in windows vista:
Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Program Access and Computer Defaults. There I reset everything to internet explorer and allowed access to everything. Now it works.

I appreciate your answer but I've tried and did not have effect. The other dll's could not be registered, only the first one, and after that outlook kept the same behavior of blocking urls. So the solution was what I told you.

Thank you a lot.
julianopolito,

Glad you found a solution.  Did you get the idea to make IE the default browser from what I posted?
Actually not, I had already read lots of internet articles before I post something here. But i'll give you the points cause you tried to help me. thank you.
The solution was almost complete. It missed the part where to set those default config in vista, but I could get it to work after reading the post.
ulianopolito, thanks for the points.
