Lotus Notes 8, link hotspot cannot launch web browser
This is a repost, taken from dewaindrayana.com
I could not find information about this problem, maybe it’s just so rare, I only got 2 computers with this problem out of 70s.
and then I tried to do something and it works !
The problem is some Lotus Notes cannot launch web browser by clicking a hotspot in a message, specifically cannot launch http but other protocol like ftp is working.
Hope this will help somebody outthere with this kind of problem…
- refresh (or replace design) of Local Address Book application, as we know that some configurations are put here

.
Actually, this did not solve my problem, but just to make it sure…
. - set the search bar to either Yahoo and Google (those two are built in there…)

.
in this case I tried Google
. - and then I tried to launch Web Browser…

.
to my surprise, this Lotus Notes 8 client innocently launching Internet Explorer !
. - and last thing to do, check it from email message to launch a link, it just works…
