Lindsay,

I have a similar problem you have. When I click on a url in an OE email,
the Windows Directory window opens instead of IE7 opening and going to the
url. I checked the setting as suggested by Frank and they are set
correctly. I also followed Bruce's advice and the file type is registered
correctly.

I'm using WinXP with IE7 and OE6. Not sure whether the problem is with
OE or not, but perhaps someone can advise ...

For the last few days (it was fine before that), www links quoted in
emails to me will not work, whether single-clicked or double-clicked. Is
there some setting that can affect this in OE or elsewhere? The only
possibly relevant change that I can think of is that I've changed ISPs
(I'm travelling and have just moved from France to Hong Kong).
