I recently tried a new browser, Mozilla - Firefox. The installation changed
my Folder Options so that when I received an email, the web page would open
in Firefox. After using both IE and Firefox for 2 or 3 weeks, I decided to
uninstall Firefox. Subsequently, URLS in email do not open. I have checked
folder options for extensions that may show Firefox as the program and all
that I could find now show IE. I have looked in Outlook Express and IE for
an option that allows for the email URLS to be opened. I am running Windows
XP, Outlook Express 6 sp2 and Internet Explorer 6 sp2.

Help!

Make OE the default e-mail client:

If still no joy:

From:

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.
