I am unable to open links on opened email message ie. clicking Washington Post headline stories link should open the story but I get no response. What, if anything, am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks,

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.

Thanks Bruce - the problem was Mozilla Firefox would not vacate even though
I used control panel to remove it.
Mucked around and removed Mozilla then clicked new action then browse
then in "open with" I opened iexplore then added open to the action and
everything came right. Without your help I was "dead in the water". Thanks
again.
