For some reason when I click a link in any email it wont open the website. If someone could tell me how to fix this, I would really appreciate it.
 
Give this a try...open My Computer | View | Folder Options | "File Types" tab | Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol | "Advanced" button | "Edit" button | Check to make sure the following is in the "Application used to perform action" box...

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome

Also, make sure the rest of the fields have the following entries...

"Use DDE" should be checked
"DDE Message:" should be set to: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
"Application:" should say: IExplore
"DDE application not running:" should be blank
"Topic:" should be: WWW_OpenURL

Next, scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy

The same settings as I noted above for HTTP should also be applied to this file type. ;)
