Hyperlinks from messages in Outlook

Guest

I have installed Outlook 2007 but now hyperlinks from e-mail messages don't
work. I get the error message 'system can't find the file specified'. Any
ideas how I can fix this?

Reset your Internet settings and verify that Internet Explorer is set as
your default browser.

Thanks this has solved the problem. But I normally have Firefox as my default
browser - anyway I can keep that setting?

You can try to switch it back to FireFox but I know that at some point FF
had some issues with correctly registering itself as the default browser on
Windows Vista. Make sure you are using the latest version of FF and use
Start-> Default programs to assign FF the defaults.

How about keeping FF as default on XP?
