Links from OE to IE

[mdaiah]

Suddenly, with no apparent cause, I can't use the direct links in emails to sites. e.g. going from email to a posting in webproworld. I have to open IE, copy the address, paste in into IE...rather tedious. Does anyone have an explanation or better still a solution?

this may help

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.
