I am running a p4 clone with XP Pro with IE6. When I am at
a website, like Yahoo's mail for instance, and I click on a
hyperlink to a website outside of Yahoo, my computer beeps
and will not connect to the website. It does the same thing
when I right-click on the link and select "open" or "open
with a new window". I do not have this problem with
Netscape or Opera browsers.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

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

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

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

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

My IE 6 does not have "Folder Options" in the Tools menu. I
look all around to find anything similar, but could not.
Any other suggestions?

You might want to follow the instructions and look in Windows Explorer
rather than Internet Explorer.
