Hold on there.  Yes, but as expected, they broke at least *two* things 
to offset the fix! :)  I (and others) have experienced issues with 
Windows Explorer after installation of the IE6/OE6 upgrade. Some related 
to "exploring" the Start Menu (right-click from the Start button), and 
some related to running Windows Explorer and IE at the same time. Quite 
a few folks (me among them) have un-installed IE6, and reverted to their 
previous version. As is often the case with MS, once again, there's a 
choice: "Which bugs do I want?".  :)

Promptness is its own reward, if one lives by the clock instead

I just tried Outlook Express 6.0 and noticed that it can open URLs with 
Netscape 6 just fine.

Yes - you're using Outlook 5.5, which won't allow you to use a 
browser other than Explorer.  Downgrade to Outlook 5, or use a 
different mail client.

If setting it under View --> Advanced --> System doesn't work then it 
may just be the way Outlook handles URLs (i.e. it only wants to pass 
them to IE).
