For IE:
try this:
Start/Run/Type this command:
REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL
Ok/Reboot.
Then go to: IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings.
Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Scroll down to
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit. Under Application used to
perform action it should read:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
=======
For OE:
Go to Start>Run and type the following:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg
(Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure that is correct)
Be certain to include the quotations marks and the space between the ending
quotation mark and the slash. Suggest that if the path is correct, you just
copy/paste the line above into the Start>Run line.
Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs and
set OE as the default mail (and news) program.
also look at this KB article for a registry edit that may be of help:
OLEXP: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work w. Outlook Express:
