Re: Shortcuts won't open IE

Hi Jackie,

I don't mind trying again and I am sure others will feel the same.
Can we revisit this previous thread?

-----------
If you are referring to the details at
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm then you should follow them
closely and use the quoted path if it is applicable.

What is the exact path you entered?
---------------
Can you supply EXACTLY what you have in file types?
Copy and paste it, do not retype it.

I will add this in now while I remember, though you must not use it
unless you have XP and your path for iexplore.exe is standard (the
path you paste here will tell us the latter)
