Control Panel | Open Folder Options

Select the Tab File Types
Scroll Down to URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol, ClickOnce.

Go to Advanced

Select Edit

The values should read:

Application:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

NOTE: The above applies to Win9x. For WinMe, Win2000, and WinXP, use Tools |
Folder Options or Control Panel | Folder Options to access the file types.
Then edit the OPEN action for the file type. The actual values specified
above are the same for each Operating System.

If you find that the above process is set correctly, and you still have
problems, then go to
Start | Run and type: regsvr32 urlmon.dll and press OK.

Hi Rick,

Close Internet Explorer and Outlook Express if either are open.

Start/run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes)

Control panel/Internent options/programs tab, click on "reset all web
settings"

Reopen and retry the links in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
