Default OE6 links won't open in IE7 (what's causing this?)

After installing Internet Explorer 7, inline URLs in Outlook Express 6
do nothing when I click on them, regardless of whether IE7 is running
already. I have to right-click and copy the shortcut or set them as
Favorites to run them.

I have seen various "fixes" for this but none have worked so far. I
made sure IE7 is the default browser and I checked that the "URL" file
association points to IE7 (at least the newer browser icon). I even
deleted the "URL" file type and reset the association from scratch. I
also tried Start + Run + "regsvr32 urlmon.dll," which did enable OE
links for a few browser sessions, but the problem returned and the fix
couldn't be repeated.

Does anyone have a definite cause & solution for OE6 links that won't
load in IE7? Will there be an OE7 release someday?

Options/settings in several third-party applications may be disallowing the
changes you made in those fixes. These include Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot
Tea Timer, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan
and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

The closest thing I have Ad-Aware SE, but I don't see a correlation and
I haven't run it in weeks. I have no virus scanner, etc. running in the
background. What settings would those be, and why would they not affect
IE6? This has been a widely-mentioned issue, starting with IE7 betas.

I don't have any of those programs and I have the same problem. Brad did you
also try the regsvr32 mshtml.dll to register, mine won't and I suspect that
is why the clicking on links won't work

When I ran that just now, I got the error: "mshtml.dll was loaded, but
the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file cannot be
registered."

I see many similar commands at
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art...upted-fix.html,
so which one is supposed to do what? I would be hesitant to run those
all in a batch.

I fixed the problem of OE6 links not opening in IE7 following the advice of
Bruce Hagen (MS-MVP Outlook Express).
He wrote "Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and
Defaults |
Browser: IE /must/ be chosen here (not default browser) if you are running
IE7 and want such links to work."

I've done that 3 times now to no avail, plus all the other tricks.
There must be another factor affecting certain users, but nobody seems
to have details.

Some research shows that's not really an "error" when you try to
register certain DLLs. Nobody has said what the underlying technical
problem is. This article has tips on fixing OE, so I'll give them a
try, though it may not be OE's fault in the first place.
