Hyperlinks open with Word in Windows Mail

OP: E-mail links don't work do not

I use windows mail to my email address. now every time I click on a link in my email it opens with microsoft word. so say for example it iswww.yahoo.com in the e-mail & I click it, it opens with microsoft word only read a file, instead of going Internet yahoo.com PLEASE HELP

Hello CrystalSkye45,

1. have you checked if Windows Mail is set a default program on your computer?

2. were you able to open the hyperlinks before with Windows Mail?

3. who is your provider of mail service?

4. are you able to do work when you copy and paste the web address?

the problem can be caused if the incorrect file association on your computer. I suggest that you set Windows Mail as the default program on your computer and check if you are able to open the hyperlinks.

1. open Set Program Access and Computer Defaults by clicking the Start button, click default programs, and then clicking set program access and computer by default.

2. in the absence of programs, you can select Internet Explorer as default for http and https files and set by default.

You can see the bottom of the article for more information on this:

    original title: Windows Mail ate my file

    I opened a word from Windows Mail document, changed using Word 2007, you press on save and close the document.  Now I can not find where he saved.  I tried the search function in Vista, but it can not find the file either.  I tried to re - open the file in the email, but I just get the original version.  Can anyone suggest where it might be?

    Thank you very much

    Once you open a Word attachment in an email, you must save it to your HARD drive until you make changes. If you do not, the changes are lost, but the original attachment is still with the e-mail.

  • installed office 2010, now all icons and programs try to open with "word".

    Somehow when I downloaded and run office 2010 from the Microsoft Web site, all my icons on my desktop now have a 'W' on them and try to open with Word, instead of opening with their own program.  I tried to change it, but without success.  Also, when I go in the beginning and all my programs are listed, they have all the 'W' on them and try to open it with word also.  Can not know what to do.

  • Everytime I open a new firefox window, a new tab opens with the new window. How do I stop this?

    Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.

    It's quite strange!

  • How can I make windows open with a full window? When I connect and I opened every window, opens with a small window.

    Each window opens with a small window and I click the enlarge each time to open a full window.

    Three options.
     
    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.
     
    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  • Could not open any hyperlink in an email from Windows Mail, regardless of the Web site

    I click on a hyperlink in Windows Mail and always get the message

    "Windows cannot find the name of http://site. Make sure you typed the name correctly again, and then try again. »

    By copying and pasting the link is fine in I.Explorer - default internet for me.

    This wasn't happening and has been for the last 2 months.  Exasperating!  Vista, Windows Home Premium.  Neither Microsoft or Toshiba (portable) can help me.

    Can someone help me please?

    My guess is your Internet Explorer or browser by default, does not all faults. This is usually the case.

    Start button > Default Programs > set your default programs > column to the left, click on your browser by default > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
    If not, click on choose by default for this program > put checkmarks on all entries in the list > click Save

  • Update for VISTA Business automatically leads to not being able to open the attachment in Windows Mail

    After an automatic update from Microsoft for VISTA Business on July 16, I now can't open attachments in the reading of e-mail messages in Windows Mail.  An error message indicates that the file is not found.  I have now to save all attachments and open my files before I read attachments.  It's very frustrating.  I had a similar experience, only a couple of weeks where a parameter is passed by an automatic update to VISTA leading to read all the emails being hidden from view.  I had never seen that before and it cost me £40 to get DELL Technical Support to sort for me.  Microsoft should not do this kind of thing are they?  Should I just revert to the original system (I have to pay DELL to do it for me) and just not allow Microsoft Update VISTA more.  I have my own business, no IT support and I want to just use my easy notebook for standard applications.  Nothing complicated.  I can't afford to waste time and money sorting on my laptop when I should run my own business in very difficult times.  Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

    I understand exactly what you're saying.

    Try this with updates to uninstall the problem and change the eo settings you decide what it is installed:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And if you really need to go back to factory settings, save your self money.

  • 'Unspecified error' box appears when I click a hyperlink in a message in Windows Mail.

    Cannot open any hypertext link contained in an e-mail message when you use Windows Mail. But if I connect to Hotmail individually, they do not work. So it must be something in the email configuration. But what?

    Try to go in the Panel. Default programs | Associate a file type or Protocol with a program.  Then page down for protocols and find the HTTP and HTTPS protocols and define Internet Explorer by default.  See if that helps.

    See point 1 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#1

    Then locate the antivirus interference (there are a number of antivirus which are not compatible with Windows Mail programs).  See point 3 on the same page: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Then try to empty your temporary Internet files of Internet Explorer (Tools |) Internet Options | Delete files).

    Then compact and repair the Windows Mail database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/)

    See it if you can save attachments (keep it before opening).  Note (point 3 above) you will need to remove and add your e-mail account, if the antivirus is interfering.

  • All programs are now trying to open with WORD.

    Model HP laptop G56. Windows 7-64 bit. After inadvertently pressing the WORD by trying to open the Cubase 5 music program (after asking what program I want to open Cubase with) all the program on the desktop icons now appear as the letter W and the computer tries to not open in WORD now, which is impossible so no open programs. How I can fix this and restore the situation so that each program, i.e., Cubase, Excel and all the rest opens just in its own right? I tried to remedy this by the OPEN WITH menu, but it shows just a few programs and no way to repair my error.

    Hello:

    If it has not been produced for a long time, I just use the system restore utility and choose a restore point for awhile before you tried to open the program with Word.

    If you are not familiar with this utility, please read the link below on how to use it.
