links in email

if I click a link in any email, my browser doesnt open, I have to copy and
paste link inmy browser to open a link....this isnt so good, anyone have any
suggestions for me.

You didn't say which browser you are using, but generally speaking,
this only works well with Internet Explorer.
Go to Default Programs, which you can access either from the Start menu
or via the Control Panel, then click the first item: "Set your default programs."
After a few seconds a list of programs comes up. Click on Internet Explorer.
If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults" then fix it by
clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

Hi Steve,

First:
Check these settings in Windows Mail.
1. Click Tools -> Options
2. Click Security tab
3. Dot Internet Zone
4. Uncheck, "Do not allow......."
5. Uncheck, "Block images and........"
6. Click OK

Second:
A) Make sure that Internet Explorer (IE7) is set as the default program
to have all of it's defaults. This tutorial will show you how.

B) If you are not using IE7, then make sure that the URL file extension
is associated with your browser's .exe file as the "Current Default".
Method Two in this tutorial will show you how.
