Guest Brett Holden Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Hello, All! After installing the Opera browser as my default web browser I decided that it was not all it was cracked up to be. I uninstalled it. Now, my IE works fine for most browsing, but if I click hyperlinks imbedded in email (I use OE) nothing happens. Some of the hyperlinks in my favorites menu also do not function. I went through the process of resetting HTM, HTML, etc. file association in Windows Explorer(> Tools> Folder Options> File Types) - or at least I think I got them all. I even re-installed IE6. It's been several years since my last Win2000 OS load, and I am planning on re-imaging my sytem next month - but I don't want to do it right away. Anyway, knowing of a fix would be good for future reference. I haven't kept my recovery disks up-to-date, so that's not an option. Help, PLEASE! With best regards, Brett Holden.

It took me a few minutes of research - Program Access and Defaults is actually in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. That did the trick! With best regards, Brett Holden. E-mail: bretth2o@bellso.net

I assumed it was common. Probably I should have given the path that you found. Glad to hear it fixed the problem anyway.
