links from emails: how to open browser on top?

[Guest]

I recently installed Windows XP (upgrading from ME). Now, when I click on a
link in an Outlook Express email, if the IE browser is already open, the link
downloads the page, but the browser window stays hidden behind the Outlook
Express window. In the past, I'd be automatically flipped over from OE to the
browser so I could see the webpage that I clicked for, without having to
manually change over to it. How can I reconfigure my OE client or IE browser
to view the linked webpage on top?

Hi Terry

Try the following and see if it helps:

Go to Start>Run> and register the following dll's by using
regsvr32 command. Try the first 2, then see if it resolves the problem. If
not then register the rest of the .dll's:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll?
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll?
regsvr32 msxml.dll?
regsvr32 mshtml.dll?
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll?
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll?

If that doesn't work, then check out the following article and do the
additional steps outlined there:
