In emails to my address, anything that has links to outside sites, do not
open IE7, but a My documents folder or nothing at all. It is happening in my
grandfathered in hotmail account and a pop3 email as well. This is getting
frustrating as IE7 is my default browser and OE6 is default email client.

I have Mcaffee virus and firewall, I know they are not part of the problem
as I had shut them all down when I downloaded IE7. Does anyone know what to
do to solve this problem?

Stop using unfinished Beta Software
IE7 is a BETA product,
Bugs
Exist

Another program

See the information below. Since you are using a beta program, your
questions should be addressed to an appropriate newsgroup for beta
participants.

[Control Panel Add/Remove Programs ] Set Program Access and Defaults
Browser: IE *must* be chosen here if you're running IE7 Beta 2 and want such
links to work.

Beta testers of IE7 Public Preview are asked to post their comments to
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup.

On the web:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...orer. general

In your newsreader:

Please stick with one (1) of your other previous threads in this newsgroup or IE General newsgroup so we all know what's been already suggested and what you've already tried: http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...rt=0&scoring=d

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup.

Thank you.
