Default OE Hyperlinks do not work (@Bill)

As a matter of fact I have IE 7 Beta 2 installed. It has been running on my
system for two weeks. I was looking for a way to uninstall in the other day
but had no luck.

Is IE7 B2P installed? Was it ever installed?

I installed a program called Lightshell from
http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~mosses/rob/. Did not care for it and
uninstalled it. From there my problems began. I found that the
WindowsXP
shell had been somehow damaged. The icons and taskbar would not show.
Internet Explorer would not open a web page and Outlook Express would not
display the contents of messages in the lower window, whack remained
blank. I ran System File checker and reinstalled SP2 and got most of the
functionality back. However, I am still having a problem with Outlook
Express, the hyperlinks do not work. They will not open Internet
Explorer
and sometimes, they will open the "My Documents" folder. I found KB
article 177054. I made sure Internet Explorer was my default browser. I
went into the internet settings and made sure the Internet Browser was
listed as the default browser. I went to Windows ExplorerToolsFolder
Options and verified the file association for URL's. When I found the
URL extension, It was listed as URL: Internet Shortcut. There was no
listing for URL File Transfer Protocol, URL: Gopher Protocol and URL
Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The only thing I can think of at this time
is to do a repair install. But I would like to exhaust all possible
remedies first. I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer.

Regards,
Bill
