File does not have a program...

[Bayard]

Whenever I click on an item in a program's drop down menu
that should transfer me to a web site (http://www. etc)I
get a message "File does not have a program associated
with it to perform this action. Create an association in
the Folders Options control panel." A) this shouldn't
happen and B) I haven't the foggiest idea of how to
create the association in File Folders. Help, please!

1. What do you mean by "program"? Which program?
2. Which drop down menu, specifically? What is its name/title?

If the hyperlinks won't open IE window, try this:

Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs and enable the option:
"Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser"
Close IE and open again. Click YES if you are prompted to set it as default
browser.

(or)

Download the .reg fix. Set Internet Explorer as default browser:

* Use this only if IE is installed in its default location [c:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer] *
