| | opening hyperlinks in mail Whenever I click on a link in an opened e-mail, I get a dialog box that says "Windows can't find "(path name)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I know it is because I don't have a browser window open and it takes a couple of seconds for the browser to open and that's why I get the message. If I have an internet browser window open, I don't get this dialog box. It's just annoying and I'm wondering if there is some fix for this. By the way, I use Firefox as my default browser. Donna |

| | Re: opening hyperlinks in mail I am a true Microsoft flag waiver. I use FireFox, I use IE, and I use Zoho. Just because you use MS products doesn't tie your hands. I am relatively sure that this is a simple fix and will be taken care of quickly. I got tired of my mail coming in non HTML. I wrote support a tech support and had a reply in a few hours. So use the MS support team and we will get this fixed sooner than later. The more requests the faster it will be done. ======================================================= "Donna Rider" <donnagailrider@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#jjyl4rhIHA.748@xxxxxx Quote: > Whenever I click on a link in an opened e-mail, I get a dialog box that > says "Windows can't find "(path name)'.
