I used to have my computer set to take emailed links shown in outlook and open them in netscape. I tried to change it to open in Explorer but now they don't open at all. Nothing happens when I click on the links. I tried going to "my computer" the "view folder options" then "file types" What shoudl html say? Is that what the problem is?
 
HTM and HTML extension (both should be there):

Action :&Open:
Application: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %1
use DDE - checked
DDE message: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application : IExplore
DDE application not running - *

Try this: open Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, File Types tab. Scroll down to URL:Hypertex Transfer Protocol, Advanced button, Edit button. Under Application used to perform action it should read: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome. Make sure that this is correct.
