Currently running Outlook 2000 - when I "cleaned" the system up a week ago -
I somehow removed the ability to click on a web link embedded in a received
message and go straight to it. How do I reestablish this ability? I want to
go straight out when a message gives me a link but can't now - I have to go
to the home URL type it and go from there. ANNOYING

Here are a few things to try. Open IE and go to Tools/Internet Options then
click the "Programs" tab. Hit the "Reset Web Settings" button. Uncheck "Also
Reset My Home Page" before hitting Yes. While you're there, also make sure
that you have a default email program set—if you don't it might also cause
this problem.

If that doesn't work, go to Start/Run and type in and then type in

REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL

Click OK. You should get a box telling you that the procedure was
completed. Close that window and try again.

Still not working? If your security settings are too high, you have a
firewall, or a pop-up stopper these can prevent a browser window from coming
up when you click the link.

Hopefully one of these solutions will fix your problem.
