Thank you so much for the link. Here is what my
configuration is like:

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select
it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

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

Mine says: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l

------

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

Yes, DDE is checked, but the boxes say different things:

'DDE Message'(#1) is blank

Application box (#2)says: shdocvw

DDE Application Not running box (#3)is blank

Topic box (#4) says: system
Instead of the following:
#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL
