Embedded Link Error

[QFD]

Hi,
When clicking on an email link sometime ago, a dialogue box opened to ask
'which program' I wanted to use to open it (rather than automatically going
to IE). I hastily selected something, and now when I go to click on a link in
an email, rather than opening IE and going to the site, there is a 'file
extraction' message that pops up (it is evidently using a program I
incorrectly selected as opposed to opening IE).
My question more than likely has a simple answer: how do I 'redo' this
error, so that when I click on a link in an email, it uses IE rather than
this other program?
Thanks for your help!
Make today great!

Right click on a link, select Open with, choose IE and check Always use this
program. You can also open file associations and change the html and url
associations to IE.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for your response. I'm still stuck, as when I right click on the link
I get a 'greyed out' cut, copy, paste and clear, and then can also select
'select all,' 'lookup' or 'translate.' On the second part of your suggestion,
how would I get to the 'file association' to change the html and url
association to IE (and would that apply globally to ALL email links?)?
Thanks again.

Hi Mary,

SUCCESS! My wife (it was her computer with the issue) found a 'repair and
detect' command in Outlook, hit that and it asked us for an association. I
then took us to Program Files/IE and associated it with the executable file
there...and it worked.
Thanks again for your help.
Enjoy your weekend!
Make today great!
