Recently changed browsers becasue of work issues and now links in Outlook
emails generate a box that effectively says Windows can't open this what
program would you like to use to view this file. What setting do I need to
change in either the browser or Outlook that will automatically open the
links in emails? HELP!!! .

It's probably not a setting in either the browser or Outlook. It's a Windows
setting. What version of Windows? Look in Control Panel for something
related to setting program access and defaults.

Try resetting your internet settings in IE's Tools, Internet Options,
Advanced tab. (Or Control panel, Internet options, Advanced tab).
See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/link_restrict.htm for other steps you
can take to reassociate ie.
