[Links in] Outlook 2003 email message not working

When I click a Web link in an e-mail message in my Outlook 2003, the Web site opens in a browser window and the Locate Link Browser dialog box appears. I have gone to the Windows Help and Support site and tried to use the solution that they recommend; however it does not work for me.

Can someone help me with this problem?

Thank you, bianderson

 

Re: To TonyT

TonyT; Thank you. I tried this solution before I registered here to find additional help. When I try the solution at the link you provided I cannot get past step 5 (In the Application used to perform action box, locate Internet Explorer (Iexplore.exe), and then click Open.). I cannot locate Internet Explorer (Iexplore.exe) such that the Open link will work. If you have some suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.
Thank you again, Bianderson

 

Hi bianderson, (This really should have posted in the "Microsoft Mail" forum. As you new to our board this is not a problem, moderators will redirect post. Welcome to windowsbbs.

Do you mean you have been unable to find iexplore.exe or the fix has not worked? Also is IE your default browser? (May be mistaken but I think the answer/fix will vary based on default browser.)

If your problem is in not being able to find iexplore.exe....
The path should reflect your path to *:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe (*: to be replaced with your drive letter) or just click the browse to button and drill to the program files>internet explorer>iexplore.exe.

This is a system file and is hidden you must have enabled you folder options to allow these to be seen:
