Links donn't work.

[PVR]

I use IE 6 on a laptop. Many times I find a web site which contains links
(in blue) to other sites. Mostly these links do not take me to the new site
when I click on them. I suspect I have IE 6 configured wrongly.

Can anyone help me make these links work?

Many thanks,

Peter.

Nothing happens. The status bar does not show. I am in the process of F/U on
the sources in your reply.
No results yet.

Peter,
Does a new window open at all?

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 (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
