>> Errr, who said anything about printing?
Calm down, Bill. The link explains the symptom you said. Yes, a related
problem and that's I pasted that URL. (assuming that the problem is with the
Internet Shortcuts - .URL files)
Have you tried the 2nd fix described in the site? If you did that (?) and
the problem persist, you may need fix few registry keys. I don't have a URL
or HTTP association fix, which should actually do the trick. Export the
following two keys from another Windows 2000 system and apply it yourself.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.URL]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut]
Remember that 'Reset Web Settings' repairs most of the settings above, so
don't ignore that step.

(but a related problem, eh?) The links just don't open at all, they pop-up the error message. Re-registering the shdocvw dll doesn't change it (the links still don't open unless another IE session is already running). -Bill Kearney
