Opera messed me up

[Guest Brett Holden]

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. E-mail: bretth2o@bellso.net

Did you try <Start Menu> <Set Program Access and Defaults> ?

Thanks, Sid. It took me a few minutes of research - Program Access and

Defaults is actually in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

That did the trick!

Ah .... I have a link on the start menu (as well). I assumed it was

common. Probably I should have given the path that you found.

 

Glad to hear it fixed the problem anyway.
