fqpissed Can't access URLs from e-mail

Recently, when I try to access any URLs from an e-mail, nothing happens. I end up copying it and pasting it into Goggle where I then can access the site.
Could it be that the problem is connected with my downloading & installing MYIE2, which I proceeded to uninstall for various reasons.
I'm running IE6.0, SP1 plus additional updfates.

What e-mail program are you using?

Ah, but everything works except the desktop .url shortcuts & web addresses in e-mails, the latter asynchronously. I can live with accessing web sites via the Favorites route or doing the c & p routine for e-mail urls, but I'd rather get the problem fixed since mama ain't too happy.And that is never, ever to be taken lightly!
Thanks for the reply one and all.

The MS KB article, Internet Shortcuts in Outlook Express Do Not Start Web Browser has the fix.
