Hi there,
Open Windows Explorer and click on Tools | Folder Options | File Types, then
scroll down to URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Click Advanced or Edit,
whatever the choice is there. You want to Edit the Open action for this file
type. The values should read as follows:
application:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(edit the path to your installation of IE as necessary)
DDE:
#1: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2: IExplore
#3: <blank>
#4: WWW_OpenURL
