Problem with HTML links in Outlook

[Craig Cockburn]

When I click on HTML links in outlook 2000, rather than bringing up the
relevant webpage, it opens this folder instead:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MAPI\1033\nt

This has been a problem since IE7 was installed and may be an IE7 bug
and although I can see there's bugs in this general area, I don't see
anyone reporting this.

HTML links on the same machine in Thunderbird work fine. My default
browser is Firefox.

Any help appreciated.

thanks

Craig

Try making IE7 the default browser. I know that it is necessary in Outlook
Express 6 SP2.

Diane, does this work in IE7 Beta2?
