That helped, but it didn't cure it. EI still randomly tries to open links.
If I click on a link, FF will open it most times, but sometimes EI will
still try it. It seems to happen less often, but still happens. I even
rebooted after making my default selections.

I use Firefox. But recently, if I click on a link in a newsgroup
post IE tries to open it--sometimes. (Don't recall if it occurs w/
links in emails.) Not only do I not want IE to do this, though it
tries, it doesn't actually open the link successfully. It gives the
msg: invalid syntax error.

How do I make it so that IE does not try to open ANYTHING (which is
it had been working)?
