If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] 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.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

Hello all,

I have a client having the exact same problem with a Windows 2000 machine
and we've tried Method 1 and 2 as well in addition to making sure that IE
is
the default browser. Hmmm...

I've been having the problem of hyperlinks within emails I receive not
opening anymore. I have never had this problem in the past and can't
figure
out what happened.

I tried both Method 1 and Method 2 listed in KB Article Q257464 without
success.

Then I tried open a hyperlink in my husband's OE mailbox on the same
computer and his emailed hyperlinks work perfectly. There must be
something
different about my settings but I can't find anything.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know from
reading
this newsgroup in the last couple days that others have this problem too.

Thanks!
