-----Original Message----- Sharon, you should have someone show you the basics of using your PC and how to get on the "Web" First of all the Run selection is for using internal Windows programs which you should not be concerned with yet. LOL - Thank you, but I'm an experienced computer person. Not an expert, but certainly way past beginner (I mentor others). I know how to get on the web in the standard fashion. Perhaps I should have explained myself better. I'm trying to install a program and apparently the ability to open a browser from StartRun is important. Sharon Dulcich "S Dulcich" wrote: When I do the following: 1. Click on Start and select Run. 2. Type in a url, anything...http://www.risoftsystems.com 3. Press OK. I get an error message - "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." It is my understanding that after pressing OK, it should launch the browser. What do I need to do to correct this? Or am I laboring under a misunderstanding? Sharon Dulcich . |

Secondly to open a browser you normally double clic k the big blue "E" on your desktop that says Internet Explorer under it. Finally once the browser does open you can type in http://www.whatever and hit go and join the rest of the "Surfers" Good Luck "S Dulcich" wrote: I do not know why Sharon is having the problem she is but for your info from XP's Help: "You can open a file or folder or connect to a shared computer by typing its path in the Open box. You can also connect to an Internet or intranet site; for example, to reach the Microsoft Web site, type www.microsoft.com in the Open box." So you can open a web site from start run. Maybe Sharon's problem is that the path to IE has been lost. |

Secondly to open a browser you normally double click the big blue "E" on your desktop that says nternet Explorer under it. Finally once the browser does open you can type in http://www.whatever and hit go and join the rest of the "Surfers" Good Luck Randy, your understanding of the Run selection is incomplete. What Sharon describes should work fine, launching the default web browser and going to the specified web page. I recommend running a test to make sure that you're right before posting a reply in the news group telling someone else that he/she is wrong. Sharon, you understand correctly. In fact, you don't even need to type "http://". A Run entry starting with "www." should bring up the default web browser. Try it with just that. I don't know how to fix the "http://" problem, but if you'll post your message in an Internet Explorer news group, I'm sure that someone there will have the answer for you. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
