Re: Link failures in IE 6, including mail link problem

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that your proposed solution for Outlook
Express worked. The bad news is that the solution for the
Internet Explorer did not.

I followed your suggested solution through twice. In both
cases, I was told that the regsvr32 urlmon.dll was
successful. When I went to check the Application to
perform the action, I had problems.

When I dug down to the URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol, I
found the following information:

Application used: "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome %1
Box for Use DDE is checked
DDE Message: "%1",,-1,0,,,,

For an experiment, I removed the " %1" from behind the "-
nohome" but that did not work. The same string
reappeared. Even if I rebooted after trying to edit that
string.

Perhaps something is corrupted?

Suggestions on how to approach or fix this problem?

Thanks.

Paul
