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?
