Re: Unable to open links in e-mails receved using Outlook Express

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you. I had a similar problem opening "Forward as Attachment" e-mails
from my friends with Yahoo and AOL. The problem occurred after I installed
Mozilla Thunderbird - then didn't like it and tried to return to OE.

I followed your directions, only chose "EML" as the extension, then clicked
on the "Default" button to restore the EML files to the default application
(OE).

Using IE6:

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] 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.

Using IE7:

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults |
Browser: IE /must/ be chosen here if you're running IE7 and want such links
to work.

IE7 questions should be posted to the Internet Explorer General Newsgroup.

Just recently, all links in e-mails I receive through my Outlook Express
6.0
have stopped working. Doesn't matter if it is a "buy" link, a link to a
story or whatever. Moving the cursor arrow over the link, the arrow
becomes a
hand and the internet address for the link shows on the bottom of the
screen
as always, but clicking the link once or twice does absolutely nothing.
This
happens whether I haved opened the internet browser beforehand or not. My
browser was Internet Explorer 6.0, but updating to the new 7.0 still has
the
same results. If I go on the internet to my e-mail server directly and
open
the same e-mails, the links work. But not through Outlook Express. Any
ideas?
