Hello,
I've researched this issue off and on for a couple weeks now and can't
figure it out. I receive an email, click on a hyperlink in that email, starts
internet explorer, hits the link, downloads a file with a custom file type
association and starts a local application. It all works fine, but
intermittently I get the dreaded "Locate Link Browser" dialog. Even when I
get this, I.E. starts up and successfully downloads and delivers the file to
the local application, this window just pops up and is annoying. Tried
resetting web settings, turning off DDE, doing the dll re-register thing,
etc. Never have installed another browser, just IE 6, and the client machines
are clean builds. What I have noticed: it looks like some sort of time-out
issue for Outlook 2003 - it happens when it takes a few seconds to get IE
loaded and going. If I have IE already up, then it never happens - seems to
happen only if I click on a non-visited link when there aren't any other IE
browser windows open - my suspicion is this situation takes longer and
Outlook freaks out with a LLB dialog. Meanwhile IE eventually does what it's
supposed to do.
Any ideas on how to approach this, are there registry settings for Outlook
that determine how long it waits before kicking out a Locate Link Browser
dialog? Is there a way to suppress it altogether?
Many thanks,
Brad
