MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008clicking web links in my email does not work
When i click on a web link in my emails (outlook 2003) it opens to "my documents" instead of opening the web site. What setting do I need to change? Thanks > When i click on a web link in my emails (outlook 2003) it opens to "my > documents" instead of opening the web site. What setting do I need > to change? You need to change the file type actions for the "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol" file type. The easiest thing to do is, when you receive the browser window after clicking on a URL, to browse to your web browser's executable. If you want to use Internet Explorer, browse to and select C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe, then click OK.  SignatureBrian Tillman Brian, It worked thanks. Any way to make it do this auto when i click on the link? It used to do this until i got my new computer. > > When i click on a web link in my emails (outlook 2003) it opens to "my > > documents" instead of opening the web site.

I followed the instructions in the previous posts, it now opens my Internet Explorer but I want it to take me to the link. For example if the link is www.info.com, my explorer opens to my home page. What settings do I need to change to take me right to the link. Thanks for the help. > > It worked thanks. Any way to make it do this auto when i click on > > the link?

Except, when I click on the web link, I get a message that says, "General failure: The URL was... Application not found" I am able to cut & paste the link though. Can I change a setting somewhere so it will recognize Explorer & open the link. This was not a problem before the upgrade.
