Hi,

When I tried to open a link (from one of the messages) for the first time in
Outlook, I received the message asking me to locate the link browser. I set
up Netscape as my link browser. But now I want to set up Opera as the link
browser because Opera appears to be much faster. Is there a way I can do it?
I have Opera in my computer.

Thx.
 
Set is as the default browser and Outlook should pick that up.

No, even after setting up Opera as default browser, Outlook links are still
opening in Netscape.
 
You can change the default URL handler by going to Control Panel-> Folder
Options-> tab File Types-> select (None) URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol->
Advanced-> select Open-> button Edit-> set the location to the location of
the executable of Opera

Following that path, application used to perform action is already set to
Opera.
 
What version OS are you using and what version of Netscape is installed? The
issue seems to go away when you install the latest version of Netscape.

After naming the application as outlook in the same path, in the appropriate

One more question.
when we archive the messages in Outlook, they are encrypted. How to decrypt
them?
 
Good to hear you got it solved.

What do you mean with encrypt them? Messages are not stored in plain text in
a pst-file. To view what is inside a pst-file you can open it in Outlook by
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
