How do I get HTTP hyperlinks in OE to open IE, when I click them?

Open Control  Panel 

Open Folder Options
Select the Tab  File Types

Scroll Down to  URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol,  ClickOnce.

Go to Advanced

Select Edit

The values should read:


Application:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL


NOTE: The above applies to Win9x. For WinMe, Win2000, and WinXP, use Tools | Folder Options or Control Panel | Folder Options to access the file types. Then edit the OPEN action for the file type. The actual values specified above are the same for each Operating System.

If you find that the above process is set correctly, and you still have problems, then go to

Start | Run and type:   regsvr32 urlmon.dll              and press OK.
