I recently downloaded IE7. If I have a link to the internet within an email
and click on same I don't open an IE7 window. If I make my Foxfire browser
the default browser the link will open the window. Prior to downloaded IE7 I
was using IE6 and the links worked OK.

I am having the same problem. I posted this question, along with another one,
over on the Windows community board thinking it was a Windows issue. They
told me to post it here. Is this a common problem with the new IE7? What can
be done to fix it.

Thanks

From previous post on this subject......

If you are using IE7:

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

Using IE7 or IE6:

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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.

When click on links within emails nothing seems to be happening, ie. to
connect me directly to an item in ebay via an email. This has only just
started happening.
Any ideas?

Thank you Ken. All I had to do was to uncheck the DDE box. Outlook works ok
now.

Your instructions worked perfectly, the only thing that I had to change was
to uncheck the dde box.

thanks for the instructions

Ah, but that is "Firefox". I have that. You originally posted about the
"Foxfire" browser. I still can't find it!
