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.

Thats an old trick to keep a post at the top of the list.
Typically those should go un-answered to drive home the point
that doing things like that is not acceptable. I'll grant that
it is possible for it to be an unintentional, say, due to a
clock configuration problem, but as most systems now-a-days
keep the clock in sync via ntp i doubt you'd see that particular
problem very often.
Also, i think (I could be wrong on this point) that if it were caused
by timezone you'd see it a lot more often.

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.

Doesn't matter. In News-Readers the posting time is AUTOMATICALLY
transformed into that of the current reader (something like GMT + xx hours).
In this way the posts are always supposed to be put into a correct time
order,
no matter in what timezone it was originally posted in.
