OE 6 will not go to an email LINK ??

[Jeff Turner]

Hello.

My OE 6 will not go to a link that I may receive in an email? It has ALWAYS
done this in the past? You just "click" on the link and away you go.

I have been having some trouble with my IE, but I think I have solved those
problems.

Your help very appreciated.

Also might want to see this information from Frank Saunders, MVP-Outlook
Express:

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

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol 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.
