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:
1. Open My Computer and click Folder Options on the Tools menu.
2. Click the File Types tab.
3. Select URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol in the list of registered file
types.
4. Click the Advanced button (Windows XP), or the Edit button (other
versions).
5. the list of Actions, select open and then click the Edit button.
6. 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.
7. Click OK, click OK.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 for the file type URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol with
Privacy.
9. Click OK to close the Folder Options window.
