Suddenly I cannot open a lot of my desktop items because The Protocol "HTTP" does not have a registered program. I just cannot find a method of recovering from this. Any help or advice much appreciated.

Hi Ron and welcome to ExTS

 

I am assuming that the icons are web-based ??

 

Try the following: ( hope this is OK for Win7 )

 

1. Click Start, select Default Programs

2. Select your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) from the list

3. Click Set this program as default

4. Click OK

 

 

If that doesn’t do it, follow these steps:

 

 

5. Click Set program access and computer defaults

6. Click Custom, and select your web browser

7. Click OK.

There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

Ken I modified the first part of your instructions slightly since I have Windows 7.

 

1. Click Start, select Default Programs

2. Click Set your default programs

3. Select your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) from the list

4. Click Set this program as default

5. If needed click Choose defaults for this program (select all options)

6. Click OK
