The

"patterns

it

report,

an

sometime

answers

| check file associations and make sure "URL:Hypertext Transfer" was set to
| "%windir% iexplore.exe", and to make sure you do not use the "URL:
Internet
| Shortcut" item. But I do not have any file association labled
"URL:Hypertext
| Transfer". I tried to create a new entry named "URL:Hypertext Transfer",
but
| a dialog box pops up saying this action would delete/replace the other URL
| entry ("URL: Internet Shortcut"). I did not want to do that. I know this
| stuff is in the registry, can I eneter it in there, and where would I look
| for directions? I don't want to reintall IE again, that makes me have to
| reinstall service packs and patches all over agian, too. TIA
