From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol 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

After installing "Touchnet browser", and changing changed to it, all web
link were opened by that. However, I uninstalled that browser and set the IE
6 to the default browser again. Now, many hyperlinks in my computer,
especially those in "Richtext boxes" and programs ( other than Browsers)
don't work or launch any thing. I have tried
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE","http://Localhost/" ) in my .NET programs, and it
works fine.
Web links in "Help and Support Center" also don't function anymore.
Any registry solution to this?

Thanks for any help.
