    Go to Start and select Default Programs. At the top you will see (Set your Default Programs). Use that to select I.E. and Live Mail as your default programs. Reboot. Check and see if your hyper links will work in your emails.

    Thank you. I have just discovered that when I click on a link in WLM, which I never use either, the link opens? But not in Hotmail or Outlook.com?

    I have already ticked this option exactly as you suggest and it does not make any difference.
    Both in the WLM and Outlook.com
    Sorry, I thought you use WLM. How about trying uninstalling WLM and test?

    Do you have some other mail program in use. Could you give us a clue what it does open into?
