Looking at the source, you'll see the URL is prefixed with BLOCKED::, like this: Office Online This is a security feature in Outlook 2003 and happens when URLs are copied from one email message and pasted into another message. It's added by the sender's copy of Outlook; the recipient can't adjust settings to remove it. The sender can control it by adjusting the blocked external context setting in Outlook 2003. You'll find these settings on the Tools, Options, Security, Change Automatic Download Settings menu or click on the Infobar of a message containing blocked content and choose Change Automatic Download Settings.

I had the same problem (W2k, Outlook) and followed your instructions - it worked great! These problems developed aft installing SP4 for W2k as well as SP1 for IE6. The settings in the folder options were correct, what I think fixed it were the recommended lines: "Run each line individually. Start – Run then type regsvr32 Urlmon.dll regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll regsvr32 Shell32.dll regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll regsvr32 Mshtml.dll" Thanks again!

If you add up the time it took to search through the source code of the email for the url of the hyperlink that you want to view, I'm sure that you've literally saved me WEEKS of hassle. For the record, I think this whole thing started when I switched to Firefox from IE, decided that I didn't like it and uninstalled firefox.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: link to Explorer from Outlook Thursday, August 17, 2006 at 11:19 pm 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!

I ended up uninstalling Firefox. The only thing I never could try was the "set program access and default" option, because for some reason that option is not displayed in Start > Programs, nor is it displayed in the Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
