Hopefully this will be an easy fix for you. Right click on your Internet Explorer icon and select ?Internet Properties? (or click ?internet options? in the Control Panel). Go to the tab called ?Programs.? In this, you should find a number of drop down menus, go to the ?E-mail:? drop down menu and select your current email program. Click OK and you should be able to access email links from the web.
