Greetings Paul,
Usually what you're describing is a some sort of software policy which is preventing
Messenger from starting. Although Messenger has a specific policy key, it doesn't actually
bring up an error when it occurs.
As your search already found, I've never heard of anyone reporting this one -- are you able
to use Internet Explorer, access it's Options and so on? I ask because Messenger does make
use of Internet Explorer which is one of the primary applications which throws this error.

When I attempt to open Windows Messenger I get a message of "This operation
has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator"
I have browsed the threads here and have not found this problem.
I have checked the Windows Firewall settings. Remote Assistance and Windows
messenger are checked in the exceptions tab. I checked the services in
administrative settings, but I am not sure of which ones to play with.
I am trying to set up remote assistance so I can help users remotely.
