I completed the reset and it still does not work.

Here is the scenario:

Outlook mail open.
IE7 not open
Select and open a weblink from within a message
2 IE7 windows launch
1 - Home page
2 - blank page with hour glass and no URL at the bottom (hangs)

To correct:
Outlook mail open
IE7 open at home page and/or other tabs
Select and open same weblink from within a message
A IE7 tab opens with weblink URL

Why does the first launch of IE7 from outlook not work?

Have you tried rebuilding the open action for the HyperText Transfer Protocol
file type?
