Links in Outlook Express

Links in Outlook Express no longer take me to the linked destination. The
mouse hovering over the link will bring up the url but nothing happens when
I click. Any ideas?

Go to View | Folder Options | File Types in Windows Explorer and check
the values for URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol (click edit, open, edit).
The values should read:
application:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL


NOTE: The above applies to Win9x. For WinMe, Win2000, and WinXP, use
Tools | Folder Options or Control Panel | Folder Options to access the
file types. Then edit the OPEN action for the file type. The actual
values specified above are the same for each Operating System.

If you find that the above process is set correctly, and you still have
problems, then go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

and see if that fixes the problem.
