Opening links in e-mails
thank you Bruce - the first solution worked.

Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet
Explorer 7:

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.

For some reason lately I am unable to open links found in e-mails. I must
save them to "my favorites" to open them. Why is this happening and how
might I fix it? Thank you for any help. Seems to have started happening
when I downloaded IE 7. Lynda
