Steve,

Thanks for the tip but that is not the problem. But, since you brought the subject up, occasionally when I try to email a hyperlink, I find that the Default Email program has been changed by some unknown reason. It happens only every once in a while, but I wonder that caused it.

Go to Control Panel | Add / Remove Programs | Set Program access and defaults and set IE and OE as default. See if that fixes it.

Bruce,

I'll give that a try. I had already deleted the Temp files and offline content. But, I'll try the new identity when I have a bit more time. I'll let you know.

Thanks,

Tom

Clear the Temporary Internet Files. In IE | Tools | Internet Options | Delete Files button. And check the box to Delete Offline content.

If still no joy:

You may have a damaged identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages from the old identity and delete it.

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
