Hi J-E

 

Try this first:

Windowskey + R

Type in the box .......... iexplore.exe -extoff ........hit return

You should get a message telling you that IE extensions [addons] have been turned off.

Try running IE with addons turned off.

 

 

If this doesn't do it ..........

 

Take a look here - click here - it may help.

[ ignore any adverts to "click here" or download ]

Hi,

 

If you are happy to go into the Registry please check the following for me .....

 

Not sure which OS you are using ....

 

Start > type in ......regedit ...... hit Return

Then, clicking the > next to HKEY CURRENT USER

Then locate "Software" and do the same.

Follow the key below until you come to "ProtocolExecute"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ProtocolExecute

 

It depends upon which OS you have.

ProtocolExecute may or may not be present.

 

If it is you are looking for "Warn on Open"

 

Let me know if this is there.

ProtocolExecute is not present,I did another system recovery back to Dec 12 2018 and now it is ok. My problem now is all my text in the address bar etc is extra small. Thanks for your help ,I say this can be marked solved.

Hi,

 

Re small text ...

 

Start > type in ..... display ......"Change Display Settings" should show ........... hit Enter

You should be able to adjust the setting here

Make the text size 125%
