Re: IE6 won't open from weblink in OE6



I have no idea what has happened, Patrick. I have never seen it disappear. Hang in there and we'll see if someone else has an idea.

Thank you Bruce, but the problem is that there IS NO entry for "URL:Hypertext
Trransfer Protocol" in the list. All I have in there is "URL:Hyperlink".

You have to have URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol. See the attached screen
shot.

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 URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet Shortcut)
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.
