I've recently found that when I receive email with a link, clicking it takes me to Docs & Settings, rather than OE! I'm using OE 6 and IE 7. I can work around it by right clicking tyhe link and pasting it, but that's not the way it should work.
Links on Thunderbird work just fine.
Got any good ideas?
Oh yes, I'm using XP, w/ lots of memory!

My problem is very similar, - the only difference is that I am using Outlook 2000 for my mail and clicking on any link takes me to a folder "C/Prog/Common Files/System/Mapi/1031/nt". I find this particularly annoying as "copy and paste" cannot be used for such hints as "click here" or "choose .."
Any help would be gratly appreciated.

Hyperlinks in messages stop working

If clicking a hyperlink in Outlook Express appears to do nothing at all, there are likely one or more registered file associations that are configured incorrectly. To repair the associations:

Open My Computer and click Folder Options on the Tools menu.
Click the File Types tab.
Select URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol in the list of registered file types.
Click the Advanced button (Windows XP), or the Edit button (other versions).
In the list of Actions, select open and then click the Edit button.
The Application used to perform action box should contain this, including quotation marks:
“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” -nohome
If instead it contains a short name version of that path, or an incorrect path, change it to the above.
Click OK, click OK.
Repeat steps 3-7 for the file type URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol with Privacy.
Click OK to close the Folder Options window.
