Thanks for the feedback Bruce. However, I'd already tried that being very
careful to do exactly. Tried with DDE checked and unchecked and still no
luck. I'm still hunting around for the solution, but more importantly, the
cause so it doesn't happen again.

Thanks anyway.

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!
