Links have stopped working in windows
Hi.
I have had this problem on my PC since I uninstalled MyIE. No links clicked from Windows applications now work, for instance links in emails in Outlook, Outlook Express or Thunderbird. When I click nothing happens. Links clicked within a web browser work fine though. I definitely have no spyware or viruses or anything like that. It looks like MyIE hooked into Windows OS to trap clicked links but then didn't "rewire" it back again after it was uninstalled. Anyone know how to fix this? Cheers, Mike |

Cheers, Mike From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm Open Windows Explorer. Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types. Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it. Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version. Select 'open'. Click Edit. "Application used to perform this action" should read: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome (Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the double quotes.) DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have: #1: "%1",,-1,0,,,, #2 IExplore #3 (blank) #4 WWW_OpenURL URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same. Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE. If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type regsvr32 urlmon.dll -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.

Hi,
Close Internet Explorer and Outlook Express if either are open. Start/run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes) Control panel/Internet options/programs tab, click on "reset all web settings" Reopen and retry the links in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Mike Chamberlain" wrote in message ...
