Hi Richard, Click Start, Run and type REGSVR32 /i SHDOCVW Reboot. If the problem persists, open Registry Editor and export these locations: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.URL -and- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Internetshortcut -and- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http Post the contents of the REG file here. -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k Windows 2000 Group Policy Registry Table: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/gp/gpref.asp "Richard Speiss" <rspeiss@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:eIqSxDKeEHA.3476@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... I have been helping a friend get his computer cleaned up after some viruses, spyware, etc. from his Windows 2000 Pro installation. Everything seems to be clean now but now he can't open a url on the desktop. He can bring up IE6 by itself and type in the address and it works fine. But if he saves a webpage to the desktop and then double-clicks on the desktop he gets a message like this: Cannot find the file http://www.googla.ca/ (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available. I went to his Folder Options / File Types and checked that the URL type was set up properly (well at least it matches mine and mine works) One thing I did notice was that when I right click on one of these saved URLs that there are two Open menu choices. Neither one works but it does seem odd. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking at? Thanks Richard
