If you are using IE7, post back. If IE6 is your browser:

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to 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.

There was a time some months ago when I could see a link to a particular
website I wanted to pursue, click on it, & go there immediately. No
longer.
Now I must copy & paste to a separate browser window.

I've no idea what caused this change. Bug?Worm? or my own internet
protection? Running XP-MCE & Trend Micro PC-cillin.

I have searched the menu dropdowns & cannot find any clue how to change
this back.

BTW, links delivered in the Hotmail inbox work fine, just as always.
