Default Can't use URL/links from emails/news messages

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.

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.
