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.

I don't know when it happened, but it maybe related to FireFox 3.0. When I
click on a URL link in Outlook Express, it opens but I have to find the
bowser page. I use the open Window of a browser instead of a tab.
I used to go directly to the opening window after I click on a link. I
also had some problems with .net framework, after the SP3 update after a
complete destructive system recovery.
Right now I am bothered that the system isn't functioning the way it
should. I have double checked my setting, nothing seems to suggest the
browser opens the way is does.
Thanks
Terry
