| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | sprudd | 6/4/09 4:40 AM | Erm, @Dwight - seeing as the poster is a Google Employee, and seeing as there have been lots of posts about this, it most definitely is a Chrome problem. |
| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | Donita71 | 6/4/09 7:19 AM | Why is the solution to reset your default browser to IE? I think Chrome is great and seems to work alot better than IE, but if all my links are going to open with IE, then what's the point? BTW I am having the same problem with Windows Mail. |
| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | onepinksheep | 6/5/09 5:15 AM | @Donita: The solution here is to reset your default browser to IE (or Firefox) because the scenario is that the user has uninstalled Chrome. |
| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | hussecho | 6/21/09 7:11 AM | I haven't used this before, so hope this is the right place.

| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | Bigbrainblue | 7/23/09 8:05 PM | I had the same issue. It IS Chrome that basically did not complete a full uninstall. I had to use Toni's Regedit (option 2) technique to purge my computer of the last remants of Chrome. I didn't like Chrome but I'm willing to try it again in the futu |

| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | firejeff | 8/27/09 3:46 PM | This worked straight away for me with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 no problem. Go to start, do a search for 'regedit' and then go to the following: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html Rewrite the default file, what ever it says ie 'chromehtml' and |
| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | Carlos A | 9/8/09 12:00 PM | Toni's methods are the most complete and most logical that I have seen so far. However, neither method works in my environment. Google chose to install Chrome in the individual user's data tree to circumvent the UAC restrictions in place on corpora |
| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | macLondonON | 10/6/09 3:43 PM | This is a serious Chrome problem. The only solution I have found is (after ininstalling Chrome) to download Firefox, make it your default browser, close it, open Internet Explorer, make it your default browser, close it, uninstall Firefox....restart |

| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | dmspen | 1/2/10 11:41 AM | This definitely is a long standing Chrome issue. I have a new Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit system with Office 2010 Beta. I installed Chrome at my daughter's request. Guess it doesn't like the 64 bit so I uninstalled it. Now I have the hyperlink issue. |

| Re: Desktop shortcuts, hyperlinks (in Outlook, etc) not working after uninstalling Google Chrome | Roger-Ohio | 1/22/10 3:33 PM | Why do I have to edit the Registry (Dangerous)? Why does Chrome install itself without asking permission? Why doesn't Google fix its Trojan Virus software and post a progran that will actually uninstall it? |
