My dad is having problems with his PC. Basically HTM and HTML and
other such extensions associated with Internet Explorer don't work. I
figured this would be simple to fix. I went into explorer (via RDP)
and reassociated the extensions with IE, but when I launch anything IE
related, it says it can't find IE and is trying to load it from his
user profile rather than C:\program files\internet
explorer\iexplore.exe.

I tried several things that didn't work then just created a new user
figuring a new user profile would fix the problem and I'd just migrate
his bookmarks over. Nope, same issue. Everything is trying find the
IE executable in the user profile directory. I'm not sure what's going
on or what to look at next. Any thoughts? Thanks.
