I am new to XP, with my new computer. No url's will click in my Outlook Express
If I receive a link to a web page in an email, it doesn't work. When I click on help, Microsoft
on the web, it doesn't work. None of my links in Outlook Express are clickable. I've checke
every setting I can think of and nothing works. Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas.

Hi Linda,

Try the first two options listed and test again. From there, work your way
down.

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 urlmon.dll. Then go to:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings.

Set Outlook Express as default mail client - Start/Run and type in:
MSIMN.EXE /REG

Restore OE to the E-mail List in Internet Options (Row 9)

Restore Hotmail, Outlook and OE under Programs (Line 250)

Reset OE for Send To , Mail To , Send Mail (Line 64)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Restore Outlook Express as Default News Client
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\News

Check your settings here:

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Scroll down to
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit.

Under Application used to perform action it should read:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
