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
