I'll have a look around my PC and see what it was I did to stop this happening. Of course, there is always the option of uninstalling the BT Yahoo browser if you don't want it.

Any more ideas?

I went in and found the option in programs that said something like Internet Explorer should check whether it is the default browser. I made sure this was checked and it's still not working. Do I have to reset something to make IE the default brouser as obviously what I'm checking in terms of the box is purely asking IE to check whether it is the default browser and it isn't. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Farley <mailto:john_farley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 7:39 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: problem with BT Yahoo Hello Wendy, This is probably because when you installed the BT software it sets itself up as the default browser. You should have IE set up as the default browser and then this may not occur. A way of doing this is to go into internet options, either from the control panel or IE itself. In the tabs on the top the last one is programmes. Check the box which says something like "IE should check to ensure it is the default browser". Then, when you click on a link in an e-mail you should go to IE rather than the BT browser. Unless you want to use something specific in the BT Yahoo browser you will probably find that IE will cover your needs.

Whenever I receive an e-mail with a direct internet link in it, when clicking on the link I don't go straight to the site in question but into the sign in page at BT Yahoo. It asks me to sign in and gives me the list of users registered but there's no link to sign in with my password (it doesn't ask me for it so consequently I can't sign in). Is there a way that BT Yahoo can be bypassed to allow you to click straight onto an internet link? Thanks a lot. Wendy
