I don't know when it happened, but it maybe related to FireFox 3.0. When
I click on a URL link in Outlook Express, it opens but I have to find
the bowser page. I use the open Window of a browser instead of a tab.

I used to go directly to the opening window after I click on a link. I
also had some problems with .net framework, after the SP3 update after a
complete destructive system recovery.

Right now I am bothered that the system isn't functioning the way it
should. I have double checked my setting, nothing seems to suggest the
browser opens the way is does.

Thanks
Terry

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.

I too had the same problem and I followed your advise, but windows reset itself,
I went back and unchecked DDE, now it works better, thank you, but I still
cannot open links from this site and a couple of others, I cannot figure out
why I can open some links just fine and others do not work, if you have any
other ideas I would appreciate it. I can only open replies from this site by
going to my favourites folder and then searching the site for the answer to
my question. I added microsoft to my trusted sites, now I am not sure if it
is my new norton internet security 2009 blocking it, do not know much about
computers so I am at a loss.It worked fine before.

You are posting through the Web interface, not a newsreader such as OE. If
you cannot open links on a Website, it is not an issue with Outlook Express.

Your problems with replying using the Web interface is not an Outlook
Express issue either.

You may be better off asking this in an Internet Explorer newsgroup.
