have noticed that when you click on a URL link in an Outlook email, you get a popup dialog box titled "Locate Link Browser" and then Firefox will load normally. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but it's certainly very annoying

having to close that dialog box every time! Note: You will not get this dialog box if you already have Firefox open on your computer. It only occurs when you click on a link and Firefox is not already open. Also, if you're using IE, you won't have this issue at all. So how you can get rid of this annoying dialog once and for all? Follow these simple steps to fix the issue on Windows XP: Step 1: Open My Computer from the windows 10 mail hyperlinks not working desktop or Start Menu. Step 2: Go to the Tools menu and click on Folder Options. Step 3: Now click on the File Types tab and you'll see a list of registered file types, Extensions and File Types. Under the Extensions column, look for the entries with (NONE) and in that subset, find the entry under File Types that is called URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol. Step 4: Click on the Advanced button at the bottom and then click on the Edit button. Step 5: Go ahead and uncheck the DDE option. It is called "Use DDE" and it's checked by default. We want to make sure it's unchecked. Go ahead and click Ok and then Ok again and then close! Now give it a shot and it should work! You can also do the same for this entry: URL: HyperText with Security. This is for HTTPS links. Worked like a charm on my computer! Note that if the textbox "Application used to perform action" is blank, then you can click Browse and find the Firefox.exe application. If you're using Windows Vista, the method above may not work. In Vista, you have to delete some registry keys in order for the dialog box to go away. Here's how. Step 1: Click on Start, then Run and type in regedit. Or just type in regedit in the Instant Search Box and press Enter. Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\ddeexec registry key. Step 3: Delete the "ddexec" registry key Step 4: Repeat for the following keys: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTPS\shell\open\ddeexec""HKEY_CLASSES_ROO

SystemsHome / Outlook / Outlook Links Won't Open In Windows 10 Last reviewed on August 23, 2016 —198 Comments We're seeing complaints from users with 32-bit versions of Office 2010, plus Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003 installed on Windows 10 that hyperlinks http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links-wont-open-in-windows-10/ in email won't open after they've set Internet Explorer as the default browser. The user will see a dialog that asks what program you want to use to open the link. Clicking the Always use this app box does not save the changes - the next time you click a link, the dialog comes up again. Some users will see the Locate Link Browser window, while one Outlook 2003 user reported that Internet Explorer opened windows 10 to the site's home page. Only Internet Explorer has a problem opening links, they work fine in Edge or Chrome, just not in Internet Explorer. To fix it, add this value to the registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\opennew\command Default value: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" %1 The Default value above will open the link in a new browser window. If you want to use a new tab in an open browser, use cmd /c START "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "%1" instead. Links links not working containing an & should open properly in new tabs using the command line above. The original CMD version offered by Microsoft did not work with & signs in the URL. The registry file was updated with the new command line. You'll need to create both the opennew and command keys then add the url to the default value. (It's the same value found in the open\command key) Do It For Me If you don't want to edit the registry yourself, you can run this prepared .reg file: opennew-win10 (opens New Window) opennew-win10-cmd (opens New Tab) To remove the OpenNew key (and Command subkey), use this reg file: opennew-win10-remove.reg Double click on the link to run it. If it opens as a text file in a new browser window, you'll need to right click on the link and choose 'Save target as' (or 'Save link as' in Chrome). You may need to change the file extension from txt to reg then double click to run it.
