XCLN: URL Opened in Outlook Today Starts Internet Explorer (184070)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook 98 Deployment Kit
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q184070 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Outlook 98, when you open a Web link that is a Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) added to the Outlook Today view, the link appears to
open Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, even though you use another program
as your default Web browser.
CAUSE
This behavior for Outlook 98 is by design. Although it appears that
Internet Explorer 4.0 is opened, the link is actually being accessed using
an embedded HTML rendering control that is based on Internet Explorer 4.0
technology.
The use of this browser control within Outlook 98 does not change your
default browser for accessing Web links in other situations.
STATUS
Currently there is no procedure for using another browser within the
Outlook Today view.
WORKAROUND
To open the Web link in your default browser, type it directly in to the
browser's command window, or access it from a source other than Outlook
Today.
