Using aggressive Windows Registry cleaners.


Fortunately, my Outlook auto-reply emails still worked. Because I didn’t test my Outlook email in between the installations, I couldn’t tell which activity contributed to the problem. The last time, the URL links broke for me after I did a Microsoft Windows update and installed some beta software. Over the years, I’ve not found one process that causes Microsoft Outlook links to break. And, if you’re comfortable with the Windows registry, I might start with Fix 4. At one time, Microsoft did have a “fix-it” repair tool, but they abandoned it. As a result, you may have to try several fixes. Each combination could be an onion layer. Since I first wrote about this problem in 2008, there have been many updates to Microsoft Windows, Outlook, and web browsers.
