Thanks, Bruce -- your first dialog box is exactly what I get, but when I
then press 'Advanced' I get a dialog box that is different from your second
image. It is called Edit File Type and the first box contains
'URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol'. But the Actions space is blank and of
the 5 options on the right, only 'Change Icon' and 'New' are available --
the other three, 'Edit', 'Remove' and 'Set Default' are greyed out. [Sorry,
I can't figure out how to get an image of the dialog box into this email --
soething else I need to find out g].

I'll work through some of the other solutions offered in this thread and
report back on progress, if any.

See the attachments. If this is not what you see, you are either looking

the wrong place, or I don't have an answer for you.

I'm using WinXP with IE7 and OE6. Not sure whether the problem is with
OE
or not, but perhaps someone can advise ...

For the last few days (it was fine before that), www links quoted in
emails to me will not work, whether single-clicked or double-clicked. Is
there some setting that can affect this in OE or elsewhere? The only
possibly relevant change that I can think of is that I've changed ISPs
(I'm travelling and have just moved from France to Hong Kong).
