Outlook not opening hyperlinks

If you want do the manual steps to fix this problem, just run the following
commands (Open Commando prompt as administrador on Windows Vista or
Windows 7)

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.htm /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.shtml /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.xht /ve /d htmlfile /f
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.xhtml /ve /d htmlfile /f

After this just make your Internet Explorer the Default browser.

  2. These commands still did not help. When I click a link in OUTLOOK 2007, it is an unknown file, therefor I have to pick the program (IE) and everytime after that I still have to select OK to have IE open the link. How can I configure ALL links in OUTLOOK to be opened automatically with IE?
