I have a problem clicking on links in my e-mail (outlook express) when I click a link it directs me to a folder on my computer not to the link it should go to. I have no problem clicking on links firefox or ie only in my e-mails, can anyone point me in the right direction.

This can happen when another browser (like Firefox) is installed as Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are closely linked and various settings are shared by both programs. Try setting IE as your default browser and have a read here: http://www.infopackets.com/channels/en/windows/gazette/2003/20030107_web_links_in_outlook_express_dont_work_part_2.htm
You could also try Mozilla Thunderbird as your email client.

It can also be caused by some spam filtering software like Spam Killer from McAffee.
