Links not connecting

[David]

When I click on a link in outlook instead of getting its destination URL, I
simply get my documents folder, What have I done? or better still how do I
fix it ?/

Two most prevalent reasons for problem - 1. Link not sent as a hyperlink
(HTML) and 2, Loss of file association. Do following: Windows
explorer>Tools>Folder options>File types>Scroll and select "HTML" extension.
In box titled "Details for HTML extension " should state that opens with IE.
If does so then click on "Advanced" and verify that default action is open"
(will be bold typeface). Otherwise click "Change" and select IE.
