    I use IE7 and XP Pro. I once clicked on a link from outlook and got a message, something like "what do you want to open when you click on links". I misunderstood and thought it was what do y ou want to open the link with, so I chose IE7. Now, whenever I click on a link from outlook say from an email or ever a word document, IE7 opens up into my homepage.
    when I click the above link it

    How can I fix this? Please.

    Have you checked your default programs in the Control Panel?

    Make sure that the browser that you want to open the links is set as the default.

    The program settings should be in the IE options with XP

    best way to fix it is to right click on the link in outlook, choose to open with "whatever" you want, and save the setting from there.

    cheers ...
