Outlook Express - IE 7

Bruce,
Tried this without success. After Set Program Ac cess and Defaults
selected
Custom button and clicked on IE and Outlook Express. Clicked ok. Tried URL
address in Outlook Express email and it did not work. Went back to check
settings and they had returned to Use My Current Web Browser, etc. At the
IE
Tools/Internet Options/Connection it is indicating IE7 is the current
default
browser, but selecting URL within email is not working. Any other
thoughts?

If still no joy:

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.
