Lotus Notes question -- URL to open in new IE window?

Factual Questions
1

I use Lotus Notes (R5) at my new job, and when I click on a URL in an email, the web-page opens up in Lotus Notes (in what is basically a new email window).

What I would like to happen is for the link to open in Internet Explorer.

(Incidentally, .html and .htm files in Windows are associated with Internet Explorer.)

I know this is possible, because no one else I work with seems to have this problem. Also, I remember about 2 years ago on a different system, I was able to fix this same problem. I vaguely remember it had to do with something in the control panel… or the registry… or something more complex than just a check box in Notes.

With your workspace showing…

File | Preferences | Location Preferences… | Internet Browser Tab

Change it to what ever. If your browser isn’t listed, pick other and type in the path to the executable.

I feel your pain on Lotus Notes.
