Bruce,
I have had this same problem before and unfortunately it has recently
resurfaced. It's driving me nuts!
I just tried (and re-tried) EVERYTHING you said in this email and I still
have a problem. When I click on a hyperlink in IE, everything works great.
If I copy the link and insert it in either Google or IE, it comes right up.
If I click on a hyperlink in an OE message, I get a lot of disk activity but
nothing happens.
Any ideas,
TIA,
Tom

If this did not work:
From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm
If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to {NONE} 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.
Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.
**********************************
Try this next:
Start>Run> type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again.
(Note the space in each command).
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
In IE, go to: Tools>Internet Options>Programs. Click: Reset Web
Settings - (uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes.

I made a mistake when looking at the file types. Upon opening it, I
immediately dropped down to the URL, since that is what appeared in the
Knowledge Base article. I found the file types for File Transfer
Protocol, Gopher Protocol and Hypertext Transfer Protocol. They all had
the proper associations for Internet Explorer. I am perplexed as to why
clicking on a hyperlink will open "My Documents".

In "URL: Internet Shortcut", URL is the file extension. This actually
refers to favorites which are *.URL files.
For the various "URL ... Protocol", etc. these have No file extension,
since they aren't files. Assuming that you have the file associations
sorted by extension (click on the column heading to sort on that
column), these will be at the top of the list with the "(NONE)" file
extensions.

I installed a program called Lightshell from
http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~mosses/rob/. Did not care for it and
uninstalled it. From there my problems began. I found that the
WindowsXP shell had been somehow damaged. The icons and taskbar would
not show. Internet Explorer would not open a web page and Outlook
Express would not display the contents of messages in the lower window,
whack remained blank. I ran System File checker and reinstalled SP2 and
got most of the functionality back. However, I am still having a
problem with Outlook Express, the hyperlinks do not work. They will not
open Internet Explorer and sometimes, they will open the "My Documents"
folder. I found KB article 177054. I made sure Internet Explorer was
my default browser. I went into the internet settings and made sure the
Internet Browser was listed as the default browser. I went to Windows
Explorer>Tools>Folder Options and verified the file association for
URL's. When I found the URL extension, It was listed as URL: Internet
Shortcut. There was no listing for URL File Transfer Protocol, URL:
Gopher Protocol and URL Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The only thing I
can think of at this time is to do a repair install. But I would like to
exhaust all possible remedies first. I would appreciate any help that
anyone can offer.
Regards,
Bill
