Hmm. It's not proving as easy as I thought. My OS is WinXP SP3. I am
trying to add a new file type however I might be doing something wrong.

What should I type in the extension box?

If I type [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol it first tells me I cannot
have any spaces. If I re-type it with no spaces then that is registered. Do
I then "change" what the file opens with to IExplore or do I select
"advanced" and then work my way through to open.....iexplore.exe %1.

When I tried that after rebooting clicking on a link in an email did not
open Iexplore. Before moving onto your further suggestion I really need to
be satisfied that what I've done so far is correct.

Yes. Try to create the entry using the information provided. Reboot when
done.

Thank You. I've fallen at the first hurdle unfortunately in that under
File Types I do not have an entry for [NONE] URL: HyperText Transfer
Protocol. My list jumps from [None] URL: File Transfer Protocol to
[None] URL: LDAP Protocol. I do however have an entry for [None].
Internet Shortcut (Not Even URL: Internet Protocol)

Do I need to create an entry?

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

If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7:

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.

Hello

I seem to be unable to opening browser links contained in e-mail
messages. I can only open the page by cutting & pasting into MSIE. Is
there a setting I can change in Outlook Express so that I can open
internet pages from links in e-mails please?
