HTML links in messages not working

[RiverDog]

Lately, when I click on a link in an email message I am not sent to the
website but to a blank Explorer page and a Locate Link Browser box showing a
list of folders in the My Documents folder. What am I supposed to do? I
presume I need to tell Outlook where the link browser file is but where is
this file?

Regards

Depends on what Internet browser you want to use. If you wish to use
Internet Explorer, its path is usually C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\Iexplorer.exe

Well, yes but now the program opens two instances of Internet Explorer, on
blank and the other, the linked site.

Actually, I have figured it out. Somehow Internet Explorer was no longer set
as my default browser. When I did this, the problem went away. Thanks
