If I click a hyperlink starting with www. on my PC (using Vista SP1, IE8) it
wants load a exe file??

It a link starts http://www. then it loads fine

Any idea why this is please?

Thanks

Browse to iexplorer.exe, select it, and click OK.

Hi

No such file named "iexplorer.exe" found!

I am only getting this problem within Outlook, can click on links starting
with www. within IE8 and Google Chrome fine.

Thanks for help

Reset your default browser in Set Programs and Access.
