Frank I am having no success!!
I have done this part several times "Application used to perform this
action" should read:

> (Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the

> WWW_OpenURL
To try unchecking DDE hasn't worked as when I go back to do that I find
that the new link I have entered has reverted back to the problem one
"Mozilla Firefox".
When I enter regsvr32 urlmon.dll in run it tells me it has worked. But no
success.
Do I have to reboot?
Have you any thoughts on what I can try next?
Should I reload XP?
Dave.
