This is a new problem. When I go to open up Internet explorer it will
not open......but it does create a new shortcut for interent
explorer....and when I tried to open that one up it created another
shortcut for internet explorer and it never did go into the internet.
How do I fix this silly thing !!!!! Thanks
Hi,
Make sure these settings are correct, by right click and select properties
on the IE Icon then click Shortcut tab:
Target: [ "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" ]
Start in: [ %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% ]
Shortcut Key: [ None ]
Run Normal window ][v]
Click [OK] and see if you could open the IE instead of creating another
shortcut.
How your mouse click is set to?, single click or double click?.
Here are some steps to make sure your machine clean:
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .
Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.
= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your
browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one
later and see which is the culprit or you can send them here in your next
post) and click [OK] to confirm your Changes.
Click on Advanced Tab and scroll down under the browsing option and uncheck
this box:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) and click Apply
then OK to close your IE Properties.
