re: link to Explorer from Outlook Thursday, August 17, 2006 at 11:19 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Patrick (2 messages posted) It seems like this problem is getting more popular. I had a problem with Win2k, began 3 days ago. 1st, IE6 would not work. I eventually fixed that by running sfc and restoring god knows what. After IE6 seemed to be fixed, Outlook express would not even open. I like to use it because it works better than Outlook for newsgroups. So I find out to reinstall it I have to reinstall IE6 again. (whatever happened to the Win98 IE5.5 method "Repair IE?" ?). Trouble was, IE6 would never einstall Outlook, cause the files were already there. Even uninstalling with "Set Program Access and Defaults" only removed the Icons and start panel links, not the files. Trying to delete the files myself I noticed they magically reappeared after a few seconds! That was the W2k system file security restoring from the dll cache. Finding out how to Shut that off was a !#@#%. Turned out, all I had to do was boot in safe mode and delete and then install ie6 agai, and Outlook again (btw, Outlook still thinks it's version 6 without service pack one now, but it should be sp1). Then SQL Server 2000 service pack 4 stopped working, and gave errors on bootup. Running SFC caused all these problems, I think. Took all day yesterday to get SQL Server reinstalled. Finally everything was basically working again, and I have been reinstalling all the service packs and security patches. Now I got the "no action when I click a URL in Outlook Express" problem. But it is 1:30am here and I am tired, so will try some more of the fixes I see you people been using. TY for this site and this thread!
