I don't have "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol" in my list of file types. I
have URL Gopher Protocol and URL: Hpertext Transfer Prtocol with Privacey and
URL:File Transfer Protocol. I changed all of these applications to
"c:\program files\internet.explorer\iexplore.exe" but I still can't open any
links. EXCEPT -- while trying to work through this I opened an account with
the Microsoft Passport Network; they sent me an e-mail and their links open
when I click on them.

Thanks for the help!
