While IEFIX is noted in a recent discussion (just below this one) I won't duplicate that content since it's too fresh and ready for you to read.
I will add that I would look at this fix -> http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_folder_open.htm

Lately when I open an email containing a hyperlink, it opens up a directory search instead of the IE link. I am running XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro. Any suggestions? This just started happening the past couple of weeks and is driving me crazy!!
