links won't respond in emails

Hi. When I click on a link I have been sent in windows mail i am told
'application not found' How do I change things so I can go directly to
websites from links sent to me by email? thanks

You didn't say which browser is your default, so I will assume IE.
Open the Default Programs applet, 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.
