Vista - Links in messages do not open. Error message.

I have attempted to click on the links provided in messages in newsgroups
and they do not open my browser (IE7). I get an error message telling me to
go to Set Association Control Panel. I get there by using Help and Support
in the start menu. If I am correct and get there, the settings are "Custom"
by default. I do change them to set them using, for IE and WLM, but to no
avail, I still am unable to use the links.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Harley

Drag them to window already opened by whatever browser you want them opened in.

Windows version?

However, I may have found the solution, it seems that when I returned to the
Set Associations control panel, as indicated above, for the 2nd time it
worked, at least for now.

In any case, thanks for the response.
