When I click on an interent webpage link in an email message it opens the
Locate Link Browser instead of opening the webpage. In Type of Files: it
says it's an executable file. I can get around it most of the time by
copying and pasting the link into the web address area but sometimes people
send me links that are words such as: Baby Alice Pictures, this link used to
open internet explorer and sent me to a website with my mates baby pictures
on it, now it won't open and when copied and pasted it doesn't work.

This just started one day, I can't remember changing any settings to make
this happen. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Alexandra

I'm presuming you're using OL2003....
A (very quick!) google search for "locate link browser" + outlook yielded
this -

That's fantastic, thanks for that, it worked.
