Cannot start http from run

[Adrie de Regt]

I have a problem with IE6. On this machine I cannot start a link from within
a mail-message. I pinpointed it down to a problem with starting http:
When i click Start -> Run and type in any valid link, f.i.
http://www.microsoft.com I get an error "Application not found"
This all happend after I found a non-working chrom-instalaltion which I
could not remove, since it wasn't installed. I did install Chrom and
removed, no result
