Guest Luka Manojlovic Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Hi! I have a strange issue on one machine using Windows XP SP2 member of the domain, user with admin rights and using IE7 now. The problem is that user is not able to open any link from any application or even links on the desktop - when it clicks it opens ALWAYS web IE7 with default web page. Only after opening one internet explorer and leave it there with home page it user can click on other links to open. I tried to reset settings, and even tried to install other browser and make a new browser default and then again force IE to become default. They are using Sharepoint so it must get this thing to work. Thank you for your time and your help, Luka

Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types. Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT URL:Internet Shortcut) and select it. Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version. Select 'open'. Click Edit. "Application used to perform this action" should read: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome (Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the double quotes.) DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have: #1: "%1",,-1,0,,,, #2 IExplore #3 (blank) #4 WWW_OpenURL URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same. Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE. If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type regsvr32 urlmon.dll -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail.
