Cannot click on links in email...

Can anyone tell me how to correct this? I have to copy and past a URL and
cannot just click on it in the body of the email. Is there a setting that
needs to be changed? Thanks

Since the installation of IE7 I'm experiencing the same. Not only
email, the same is true for newsgroup messages.

When IE6 was the default browser, there wasn't a problem; now there
is.

Any reply with a prossible solution would be greatelly appreciated

Not one to admit an error. After posting the above, when to see if
in fact what was stated was still true. Must say that it wasn't!

Was ABLE to click on a link within a newsgroup message and was taken
to the page. Haven't tried from an email message, but suspect the
same result.

If you are using 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:

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.
