Am unable to open websites when they show up in Outlook Express 6. Anyone
know why? When I click on an URL all I get is a BONG. Am running WinXP
Home Edition w/SP3.

Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express or in Word (Revised 29 Apr-09)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823301

Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to IE7 [and/or
IE8] (Revised 29 Apr-09)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929867

If still no joy:

Courtesy of MVP Frank Saunders. [RIP]

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet
Shortcut) and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"CPROGRAM 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 all the above is correct, uncheck: Use DDE.

Thanks, Bruce. That fixed my problem. Although the instructions you sent
were not too easy to follow. Apparently they were for a different brand of
Windows. Thanks again.
