SOLVED - Outlook Opening Links to Edge

[BKGarry]

Hello All,

 

So no doubt some of you have come across Outlook opening all links in Microsoft Edge, no matter what your default browser is.

 

There is a setting to change this tucked away in File > Options > Advanced > Link handing then Open hyperlinks from outlook in: Default Browser/Edge dropdown.

 

But what is hidden is that in the latest ADMX Files, available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49030 - you can set it to default browser as well.

 

Available under (once you have imported the latest admx Templates) User Configuration > Policies > Microsoft Office 2016 > Links > "Choose which browser opens web links"

 

You can set this as using the System Default Browser.

 

Posting this here to save people the headache of it later on

Does this fix a issue with Internet Explorer been removed?

 

On our terminal server, we get an error when trying to open links in Outlook.

Has anyone found a solution to this? Happens in any Office application.

I also need to configure the GPO to open all the outlook link to default browser ( in our case is chrome)

 

Any help?
