| | Windows Mail and Hyperlinks At least 40% of the hyperlinks that are in e-mails I receive just don't 'work' when I click on them. If I cut 'n paste the same link into the IE address bar - they work fine. I'm running Windows Mail with Vista HP. I never had this problem with OE on my previous XP machine. Anyone any ideas why these links aren't working? Ret. |

| | Re: Windows Mail and Hyperlinks Make sure Internet Explorer has all its defaults: Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item: "Set your default programs." After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Internet Explorer". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults" then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Ret." <xxx> wrote in message news:ZaGdnXbY-I4HnyjUnZ2dnUVZ8qmWnZ2d@xxxxxx Quote: > At least 40% of the hyperlinks that are in e-mails I receive just don't > 'work' when I click on them.

That 9th default was probably the cause for your problem. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Ret." <xxx> wrote in message news:dLydnQETG5_t0CvUnZ2dnUVZ8vKdnZ2d@xxxxxx Quote: > Gary VanderMolen wrote: Quote: >> Make sure Internet Explorer has all its defaults: >> Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from >> the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item: >> "Set your default programs." >> After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up.
