Since you didn't mention what email client you are using, here is
information about both Outlook and Outlook Express:
For OE: Credit to MVP Frank Saunders - from
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.
"Application used to perform this action" should read:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)
DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:
#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)
#4
WWW_OpenURL
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.
Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE. If that doesn't fix it,
go to Start>Run and type
regsvr32 urlmon.dll [enter]
For Outlook:
Open Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab. Choose
Reset Web Settings. Click OK and close the dialog. Then, from
Start/Run, type this command and press Enter: regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
If nothing helps, inspect the htmlfile and http associations in the
registry, as per KB310049:
OL2002: Error Message: This Operation Has Been Cancelled Due to
