Using Outlook 2003. When I receive an email with a link to a web site,
clicking it takes me to MY Documents folder. If I copy the link and paste
it in the address bar of Internet Explorer, it works fine. I did a repair
of Outlook with no improvement. Any suggestions?

You have to set a standard browser.

the problem is not with outlook but with your browser setting. you need to
reset web settings in IE's tools options.
