Hi,

I developed a program who add a button to the IE toolbar (im on XP Pro SP2).
When we click on the button it open a new IE windows. For add this button, my
program add the right keys into the windows registry at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions, until last week all was
working very well... but since the last Windows Update it doesn't work...
The key i used for launch the new IE window is "Exec", until now the key
contained only "http://www.awebsite.com"... but now when i click on the
button it dislpay an error almost like this : "http://www.awebsite.com
impossible to find this application".

So, when i type "http://www.awebsite.com" in Start > Run, i have the same
message... The solution when i'm in Start -> Run is to type "iexplore.exe
http://www.awebsite.com", and then it works well. But also if type
"iexplore.exe http://www.awebsite.com" into my Exec registry key it doesn't
work... I tried to had " " arround my Exec key but it doesn't work too :(...

Anyone have an idea or a solution ? Because now my application doesn't work,
and it's à big problem for me. Thanks for all your help, and ask me questions
or details of necessary :).

Thanks
 
Hi Franck?

Running firefox on your machine? Is IE set as your default browser? Check
your file associations for Internet Shortcuts. Also check that scripting and
enable scripting of Browser Object are enabled.
Seems to be a problem either file associations are corrupted or scripting is
not enabled.
Try also changing from Exec to Script in the registry entry for the button.
Try a script "javascript:window.navigate('www.yoursite.com');"

Regards.
