html link in Outlook (express)

[news-server.twcny.rr.com]

Greetings;

Lately when I click an html link in either Outlook 2003 or Express, it opens
an Explorer window (NOT IE or Firefox).
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have IE set as the default browser.

Since you have WinXP SP2 you will want this update for Outlook Express:
There are two articles, KB918766 and KB918651, but the latter is not
currently available. The download link is

It places the backup in Recycled, overwriting any earlier backup of the
same folder(s). To use it, copy it to the store folder, delete the one you
want to replace and then rename the BAK file to DBX. (It's a bit more
complicated if the messed up DBX file isn't there or contains messages that
are hew that you want to keep.
