I have suddenly started having trouble with accessing links in all of my
emails in Outlook Express and also when instant messaging. If you click on
the link, nothing happens. It shows the link address at the bottom of the
page but never goes there. I haven't changed anything in my settings, so I
have no idea what has happened. Can anyone give me some idea of what to do?

Thank you for your time.

Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet
Explorer 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929867

If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7:

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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.

Bruce,

Thank you so much for your time. I tried the instructions you gave me and
got to the point where I was searching for the [NONE} URL:HyperText Transfer
Protocol". I have looked through the whole list in teh Registered File Types
and there is NO such item on my computer. I've tried more than once to make
sure I wasn't missing it, but I do not have a [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfre
Protocol item. Therefore, I can't get past that step in the directions.
Could it possible be called something else? I'm stuck and missing a lot of
email links due to this problem. Thank you, again, for your time and help.

Cheri =)

What is your Windows version? It may differ, but on my XP/SP3 it is the 12th
item in the list. It must be there. Are you sure you are looking in the
right place?

It doesn't matter how you get there, but try the Win+E key. Then click on
Tools | Folder Options | File Types. Look carefully. It /is/ there.

Bruce,

My version of Windows is XP/SP3. The 12th item on my list is [NONE] URL:
File Transfer Protocol. That's it...in all of the [NONE] items there is NOT
one that says HyperText Transfer Protocol. I have gotten to the Folders
Options, File Types window several times, but when the Registered File Types
loads there is NO URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol.

Bruce,

I am not going crazy...honest. I went back again to look in the Registered
File Types and this is what mine is:

Registered File Types:

[NONE] Audio CD
[NONE] Drive
[NONE] DVD
[NONE] File Folder
[NONE] Folder
[NONE] Help and Support Center Protocol
[NONE] Internet Shortcut
[NONE] Safari URL
[NONE] Safari URL
[NONE] Speed Dial
[NONE] URL: CallTo Protocol
[NONE] URL: File Transfer Protocol
[NONE] URL: Gopher Protocol
[NONE] URL: LDAP Protocol
[NONE] URL: MailTo Protocol
[NONE] URL: MailTo Protocol
[NONE] URL: News Protocol
[NONE] URL: NNTP Protocol
[NONE] URL: RLogin Protocol
[NONE] URL: Snews Protocol
[NONE] URL: Telnet Protocol
[NONE] URL: TN3270 Protocol

Those are ALL of the [NONE] items there are, no more. What's my problem?
I'm tearing my hair out.

Cheri

I have sent a message to a colleague for some assistance, Cheri. I have no
explanation as to why that file type would be missing. Keep checking back.
