Unable to open links from outside IE

[Michael]

Noticed this problem while trying to open a link from
Outlook Express. Clicked on the link, IE opens but get a
page cannot be displayed and an address of 127.0.0.1. I
copied the link to my desktop and got the same thing.
Copy the link and paste to the address bar and it works
fine. If it helps, it's a fresh install of XP Home.
Thanks.

Internet Explorer Links Not Working

You may be able to resolve the issue by resetting Web
settings in Internet Explorer.
Tools, Internet Options, Programs
"Reset Web Settings"

Also look at:- Tools>Internet Options/Advanced/Underline Links.

Also if hyperlinks are not opening:
1) Click start/run
2) then type: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll (not there is a space between 2 and a)
3) Enter
4) now type: regsvr32 shdocvw.dll (again noting the space between the 2 and s).
5. Enter

Also check these settings:
Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit.
Under Application used to perform action it should read:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
