since I have downloaded sp2 I cannot open a url sent to
me in outlook express. I haave looked on google and find
a lot of references but no specipics for xp. I figure
there must be a setting somewhere but I can not find it.
Any help appreciated. (e-mail address removed)
 
This would be best posted in m.p.windowsupdate or an OE group such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:

Hi Hal,

Close Internet Explorer and Outlook Express if either are open.

Start/run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes)

Control panel/Internet options/programs tab, click on "reset all web
settings"

Reopen and retry the links in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.

Hi

Try this:

From Start>Run type the following:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Please note the space between the 2 and u. Then open Internet Explorer and
go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs and click on 'Reset Web Settings...'.
Try the links again.

Click to expand...

How do I get HTTP hyperlinks in OE to open IE, when I click them?
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.
