All of the items you wanted checked on Windows Explorer were already listed.

When I tried accessing a link, it didn't work UNTIL I unclicked and
reclicked DDE box - then the links worked.

Thanks.

Those are my settings right now, and it still doesn't work.

IE7 questions should be posted to the Internet Explorer General

Since installing IE7, I cannot open any links from any emails received
on
OE6.

Sometimes, I can copy them into IE7 to open, but other times the
software
to
which I am trying to link will not accept the paste; it requires
signing
in
directly from my email.

How do I fix this??



From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet Shortcut)
and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

NOTE: Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
