If I open IE 6, and key in a URL, I go there no problems. However if I have a link in a word or excel document, I do not go there. IE does open another window, but while I am expecting an address bar such as:

Code:
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com[/URL]

Instead I get this:

Code:
C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Don%20Gilsdorf\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Internet%20Files\Content.IE5\K1MV4HY7\tek-tips[1].htm

Of course the server is not found, and I have to go manually key in the URL. Any ideas how to fix this?
