Hyperlink doesn't work from Outlook 2000. If I have a hyperlink in an email, and I click on it, it doesn't open... IE is brought up, but the page doesn't link. I can manually do it; just not from IE. I had the same problem like 3 years ago, but I forgot how I fixed it.

Try:

Disabling any popup blockers.

Or...

Make sure your default clients are chosen properly. In IE go to Tools > Internet Options and go to the Programs tab. Make sure
the email program you are using is selected under the email option and hit
OK.

Or...

Open Windows Explorer and click on Tools | Folder Options | File Types, then
scroll down to URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Click Advanced or Edit,
whatever the choice is there. You want to Edit the Open action for this file
type. The values should read as follows:

application:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(edit the path to your installation of IE as necessary)
