    Links in Windows Mail do not work

    I can not click on a link in Windows Mail and go the web page. A eror bax
    pops up and states the address I'm trying to get to and "application not
    found". I read similar problems with OE but can not figure out the solution
    to Windows Mail.

    Hi ladadaa,

    First, in Windows Mail, check these settings:
    1. Click Tools -> Options
    2. Click Security tab
    3. Dot "Internet Zone"
    4. Uncheck "Do not allow...."
    5. Uncheck "Block images and......"
    6. Click OK.

    Second, check to make sure that Internet Explorer and Windows Mail has all of their default associations are set to them.

    Default Programs - Program Default Associations

    Thanks. After reading your response I recall doing something in the default
    programs section and I must have changed a setting.

    Using Default Programs, setting IE as the default browser solves this problem in most cases.
