After installing IEv7, I am no longer able to click on links from emails that
used to open the browser automatically, taking me to the web page. Is there
a way to correct this?

I had this problem also. The MS Gurus gave me the cure. Copy & paste this web
address into your browser. It will explain EXACTLY how to get your link
capabilities back with OE6 & IE7:

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults |
Browser: IE /must/ be chosen here if you're running IE7 and want such links
to work.

If still no joy:

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

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:

"C:\PROGRAM 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.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

Thanks, Bruce. I had to uncheck the "use DDE" box to make it work. I have
Outlook 2000.

Bruce seems to have a good handle on the Outlook/IE7 issues. I had worked for
3 days changing settings, and in less than 2 minutes Bruce had it working the
way God and Bill Gates intended it to work.
