| 633610 | 2008-01-24 19:10:00 | Recently I have had problems activating hyperlinks in e-mails. I have in the past been subscribed to a number of website where I get updates of new information, special offers and the like most of which I have just dumped. However recently I have decided that the best way would be to stop them coming in the first place and unsubscribe. However when I click on the <unsubscribe> link I get taken straight to <my documents>, any clues. I have been through my e-mail settings, which are a mystery to me anyway and can't find anything that seems to be wrong. I don't recall making any changes to the system that could have caused the problem. I run Windoze XP and Microsoft Outlook 2002 SP3 Any clues would be of great help |

| 633612 | 2008-01-26 04:06:00 | I use IEand I think you may be on the right track as around the time that this problem appeared I try installing Firefox but it wasn't a success. I have gone through the process as listed on your link but can't get past step 4. there is no box "Application used to perform action" to open! I may have to call in the experts, until then I will give it an asprin and see how it is in the morning. |

| 633613 | 2008-01-26 05:47:00 | Hi Percy I have just got onto an XP machine Note haven't tested this as it's my wifes machine but open my computer go to tools --> folder options Select the file types tab scroll down to URL: Hyper text transfer protocol click on it to select it, then hit the advanced button Right I assume this is where the problem is occuring a window should pop with the heading "Edit File Type" there should be a white panel inside this called Actions and the only listing in this is "Open" Click on "Open" to select it, then click the Edit button, and another pop-up should appear and this is where the "Application used to preform this action" bit is |

| 633615 | 2008-01-26 06:11:00 | Did you click on the "open" line so that it is highlighted first, otherwise the edit won't work | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 633616 | 2008-01-26 06:20:00 | Ok I have just realised you actually want IE to be your default Have you tried tolls --> internet options --> programs Tab --> reset web settings that should set Ie to the default link reader thingie, but it will also reset your homepage (I Think, once again i can't test as its the wifeys machines) |
