Links Don't Work

After every reboot, links contained in emails don't work. Every time, in
order to correct it, I have to go to My Computer Tools Folder Options
File Types, select URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol (with and without
Privacy), Select Advanced Select Edit and OK out. I don't really have to
change anything, the values are all correct, I just have to go through the
Edit process. Then all the links work correctly. Anybody got a clue what my
problem is, or how to fix it?

Try re-registering these dlls:

Start | Run | type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again.
(Note the space in each command).

regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

In IE, go to: ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms. Click: Reset Web
Settings - (uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes.

If you still have a problem, you may have a damaged identity. File |
Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well,
you can import your messages from the old identity and delete it.

OK, Bruce. Thanks. I re-registered the dll's and Reset my Web Settings per
your instructions. Didn't fix it so I'll try creating a new identity, but
that probably won't be for another day or two. I'll let you know how that
works.

I've been having similar troubles and your directions seem to have fixed the
problem...so far.

Thanks for the help,

And this doesn't work / stick?

If nothing happens when you click a link:
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to 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.

No, the URL edits don't stick. You had suggested I create a new identity, I
haven't done that yet. I'll try the other things in the Frank Saunders link
you provided. I've got a question about identities. When I go to Manage
Identities, I see 5 listed. One each for the two users (my wife and I), two
Main Identity and a Main Identity(2). Does that make sense? Should I delete
some?

Delete any identities you are not using. Make a mental note of the folders
you have in your currently used identities for verification, and then:

In Regedit, navigate to this key:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities.

Click on each one and continue to:

|--------{GUID}
|-----------Software
|--------------Microsoft
|-----------------Outlook Express
|--------------------5.0

When you see any that are obviously not being used, go back to Identities
and right click and delete that identity.

This is something you should do, but it is not the remedy for your current
problem. Do hyperlinks not work in any identity? I still think you should
try a new one if they don't work as long as you have tried all other
possible fixes already.

OK, I thought maybe there was something *special* about Main Identities, and
that they should remain. I don't have any idea how I got so many of them,
I'll delete them if they're *not* special.
