Can't Permanently Uncheck "Use DDE"
Using XP Home SP3, OE 6.00.2900.5512 (XPSP 080413-2105)
When I go to My Computer/tools/folder options/file types/(none) URL hyper text transfer protocol/advanced/edit/use DDE, and uncheck the box I then click OK/OK/close, but the box remains checked when I go back to it. The apply button is grayed out. The same situation applies to URL hyper text transfer protocol with privacy. After installing SP3 I found that the only way to get the hyper links in email messages in OE to work was to uncheck the DDE box. The problem is they don't stay unchecked. Can someone help me correct this? Thanks. -- "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." - Sir Winston Churchill |

Can't Permanently Uncheck "Use DDE"
Use DDE will never remain unchecked. Never has. It is the initial one time
unchecking that usually fixes the problem of clicking on links. Assuming everything here is as should be: Hyperlinks do not work in Outlook Express after you upgrade to Internet Explorer 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929867 If still no joy, for IE6 & IE7: From: http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm If nothing happens when you click a link: Open Windows Explorer, or the Control Panel. Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types. Scroll down to [NONE] URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet Shortcut) 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. ~~~~~ If all the above is correct, try re-registering these dlls: Start | Run | type, or Copy/Paste, these in one at a time and try again. (Note the space in each command). regsvr32 Mshtml.dll regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll regsvr32 Shell32.dll regsvr32 actxprxy.dll regsvr32 shdocvw.dll regsvr32 urlmon.dll In IE, go to: ToolsInternet OptionsPrograms. Click: Reset Web Settings - (uncheck box for homepage) - Click Yes. ~~~~~ If you /still/ have a problem and it started after installing SP3, then continue on here. If SP3 was downloaded with an anti-virus, or anti-spyware, program running, you may have a bad installation. From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../cc164204.aspx * If the configuration of your antivirus software prevents certain system files from being changed, SP3 installation might fail. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus software. You can usually do this by right-clicking your antivirus program icon (which typically appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the computer screen) and clicking Disable. * If you disable your antivirus software before you install the service pack, be sure that you are aware of the risks involved, and be sure to enable it after the service pack is installed. Remove SP3 via Add/Remove Programs, reboot and download and install it again. Before you do, turn off your anti-virus and any anti-spyware programs such as Windows Defender. If you use a third party firewall, disable it and turn on the Windows Firewall in the Control Panel for the installation. Once SP3 is in and working, you can enable the third party firewall and turn of the Windows Firewall. Do not keep both running.

Thanks Bruce. I reset all the settings as you listed and it appears to be
working just fine now. I appreciate your help. "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Use DDE will never remain unchecked. Never has.
