Why does an email link open BT YAHOO & not IE ?
      #200377 - Fri Jun 17 2005 06:11 PM

I don't think this belongs under Hijack This Logs ...

I click on Outlook Express and Connect signs me on to BT Yahoo Broadband.

If I click on IE it opens my home page Google - the default under Internet Options.

So no problem there.

If I click on a link in an email such as http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ a BT YAHOO Browser Window opens which asks me to sign on etc

This is a waste of time as I am already signed on and using Outlook Express to read my emails and have an IE browser window open.

How can I make the email link open a normal IE Browser window instead ?

The BT Yahoo Broadband help desk didn't know how to change this

I'm on BT Yahoo! Anytime (dial-up) and the same thing happens to me sometimes, but I don't really find it a problem. Actually, I don't have to sign on, the link just sometimes opens in BT Yahoo! which I don't mind, as long as the link opens! I don't know how you can solve this.

Uninstall your BT Yahoo browser (add/remove programs) and that should do the trick.

I'm on dial-up, not BB so it may be different, but when I go on-line, I always do so via the BT Yahoo! browser. Even if I'm on IE (rare) and a link opens in BT Yahoo!, I don't have to sign in as that happens when I first connect and click the sign in button.
