Bruce,
I, too, am having this same problem. I went in and checked that the URL:HyperText fields were filled in correctly under file types; still no joy. Then I unchecked the Use DDE box, and this worked. However, I cannot get the change to "stick". When I reboot the machine and recheck, the Use DDE box is checked. All this started happening after I downloaded a copy of the Mozilla/Firefox web browser. I tried Firefox for a while, didn't like it, and went into Control Panel and removed it. Every since the subject line problems have been occurring. Also, on reboot, when opening IE, a box pops up and says that IE is not my default browser. Please advise--- "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Please start your own new thread in the future, thank you.
Unchecking Use DDE will become checked again, but it is the act of unchecking it once that often fixes the problem. If you can click on links OK now, don't worry about it. Make OE the default e-mail client: http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx For links in e-mail: http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx And: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/oe_client.htm If you have MS Outlook installed, also see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13 "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Ferdy" wrote in message . ..
