I made an error when Outlook asked me which browser I wanted links to open to. I entered Internet Explorer. Now, when I click a link in Outlook, it opens to my IE Homepage and not the link page.
View 1 RepliesAfter I upgraded to Windows 10 I am unable to click on any link in Outlook 2003. I get a popup that says "Locate link browser". I searched for a solution and read that I needed to associate it with IExplore.exe. After doing that, now whenever I click a link it opens IExplore to my home page. How I can resolve this error and get it to go to the URL rather than just opening IExplore?
Instructions I found were these but don't seem to apply to Windows 10:
On the desktop, double-click My Computer.On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the File Types tab.In the Registered File Types list, click URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol, click Advanced, and then click Edit.In the Actions box, type open.In the Application used to perform action box, locate Internet Explorer (Iexplore.exe), and then click Open.In the Application box, type IExplore, and then click OK.
I am using Mail app built in Windows 10. Office 2013 is installed with all applications. If I try to use the SendTo link from Explorer, it opens up Outlook instead of the default Mail app. In default programs, Mail has all his options checked.
How to make the SendTo work properly with Mail app?
I have gone into settings and properly selected desired home page.
Most of the time when I hit home, it goes to microsoft start.
I use Windows Technical Preview, today a Chinese program(hao100) tried to install by itself on my computer in the morning(I don't know how) but I declined in the 'Terms and conditions page' and it wasn't installed. Later I checked my browser(IE as well as Firefox), the homepage got changed to inlinesearch.com.
I've tried everything I could so far to remove it but nothing works. I've played with browser settings and even reset both the browsers but nothing worked. Then I scanned PC for malwares and then for spywares but nothing was detected. I even went through my local disk(C:) but I didn't find any unknown software in program files. How I can change my homepage back to msn.
I've read several threads here about the homepage resetting to Bing and I've tried all the recommendations. My homepage continues to reset to Bing.
I've scanned for virus' & malware w/ Malwarebytes & Defender. Also used McAfee Stinger. No problems found. Is there a setting inside Windows 10 that prohibits the homepage from being changed?
I am using the Edge Browser, and I find sending a link via e mail cumbersome. I am using outlook 2010, is there a " Correct" or easy way to send a link via e mail and it was in IE ?
View 9 RepliesIf you want to link all your mail into one inbox you can do it.
Open Mail either from all App or Taskbar if you have it set up that way
Once open click on Settings found in bottom Right Hand Corner
Then go to Manage Account
Click on any Mail you have there like
Outlook
Gmail
Etc
Then click Link Inboxes
Tick which Inboxes you want to link
Also you can Name the link to anything you want to
Once done Click Save
Now when you receive Mail from any of your contact etc
It will now come into one Inbox
Have done it and it does work
This saves you having to click on each Mail inbox
If you want to revert back just
Click on the inbox linked untick
Press Save and they are all back showing one by one
In IE, there was a setting to open links (e.g., ones selected by shift-clicking, or ones with a target attribute in the anchor tag) into a new window instead of a new tab. I can't find a way to do this in Edge - in general, the number of user-adjustable settings seems to be MUCH smaller in Edge. Is there a way?
View 5 RepliesMy sendto has been broken. I had just Bluetooth showing but the folder at C:Users***AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsSendTo had all the right parts in it.

Whenever I open a link in email I get asked which browser I want to use. I have selected Explorer as my default browser and I keep checking the box that says "always use this app" It is very frustrating. How do I make Windows 10 understand that I always want to use IE.
View 3 RepliesHow do I turn off the mouse auto click when it hovers over a link in a web page. I downloaded the windows 10 and it has started doing this. I can't find a thing anywhere about this issue. I have an Asus laptop and a Toshiba laptop and they are both doing this since getting the windows 10. I spend more time going back to my original page than I get to read the original page! Try shopping and reading a description. Taking a test online was challenging to say the least.

The latest Win 10 update (from about 8/12) has really hosed me. Every morning the computer tries to install it, fails, and then removes the update. No error codes. This take about six reboots and half an hour. Never ran into this before. I'm about to roll back to Win 7 if I can't resolve this.
I tried the trick of setting "metered connection" in the Wi-Fi settings, but that did no good, apparently because the update is already stored on my machine...

View 2 RepliesI just got Windows 10 and finally got my 2003 Outlook Mail Client to work. Previously, when I clicked a link in my Reading Pane, it opened in IE, my default browser. Now, I get a dialog box asking me for my link browser and presenting a Documents directory. When I finally find Internet Explorer in my Programs and enter it, I get the IE Home Page. The link doesn't load. I can't get the dialog back to change anything. What can I do to see the page I click on in my reading pane?

I did the windows 10 upgrade yesterday and since then my Outlook 2010 cannot send mail. It receives mail as it should without any issues. I have multiple emails accounts with different vendors and it is doing the same on all of them so I have ruled out it being a hosting issue.I have also disabled all my internet security and firewall but that did not work at all?

View 1 RepliesI upgraded to Win10/Office 2016 from Win7/Office 2013. At the same time, I changed my web mail (Gmail) from POP3 to IMAP. Since the upgrade, Outlook creates *.ost data files instead of *.pst data files.
As far as I am able to determine, *.ost files are a product of or are otherwise related to an Exchange server, with which I am not associated., i.e., I am using my home custom PC. I also log in to Win10 with a local (vs. Microsoft) account. In Outlook, Work Offline in Send/Receive preferences is grayed out and red Xed; the Outlook icon in the task bar is also red Xed.
All of my searches about this issue relate it to Outlook behavior with an Exchange server. Not being on an Exchange server, I can find no solutions. When I first set up Win10, I logged on using a MS account but no longer do so. Nevertheless, I am wondering if I am tied to MS servers.
My question: however I accomplish it, how do I tweak Outlook to create *.pst data files instead of the *.ost data files.
Since updating to Windows 10 my Office 365 Outlook will not send emails - error unable to connect to network - yet it receives them OK and if I go to account settings and use 'Test' it sends and receives OK this is true of all my accounts, Hotmail, gmail and two domain accounts. All can be set up and work from the new Mail App. Have run online repair of Office 365 and rebooted to no avail,
View 9 RepliesI reinstalled my Office 2007 programs back on my computer after updating to Windows 10. The only problem I am having is that Outlook won't open the default browser (IE11) when a link is clicked. Instead, it pops up a box that asks me what I want to use to open and , even if I select IE as the app and check the box that says always use this app, it doesn't "remember". I've set IE as the default browser, both in Outlook and as the default browser in Control Panel. Anything else I can do to make it open link with IE instead of Edge?

View 9 RepliesI've connected the Mail app to my Gmail account. It can access my mail without problem but when I try and open an email I get the following message. There is insufficient memory or disk space. Outlook cannot display the requested font. This only happens on the first email selected.
The email is displayed but most of the text is missing. Images are displayed and text which I am guessing does not use default values e.g. different font and possibly style.
