I was using MYIE and now use Internet Explorer. When I
get an email with a link to a browser, it did go to MYIE.
When I try to get it to go to Internet Explorer, it can't
find it. How do I change the preference so anytimne I
get a link on email (Eudora) it will go to Microsoft
Internet Explorer? Thank you.

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

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol 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.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Thank you for your reply. When I went to Windows
Explorer, after URL there was no URL:HyperText Transfer
Protocol. Only MYIE (which I deleted) and OPEN.
