SUMMARY
For performance reasons, the Windows 16-bit Microsoft Exchange client does not activate URLs by default. This can be changed by adding an [Options] section to the Windows\Exchng.ini file to contain this line:   browser=c:\path\iexplore.exe The browser line should point to the preferred browser. After this has been done, you will need to restart your computer.



MORE INFORMATION
You might notice that URLs appear hot even though the browser line is not present in their Exchng.Ini file. The action of reading a message with a URL enclosed is what activates the URL. If another client has previously read the message and forwarded it to the Microsoft Exchange Win16 client, the link will be hot but the client will still be unable to jump to the URL because a browser has not been configured.
