I have been having problems with my IE6 browser. Things like links not
opening when I click on them in my email and saved links (on the desktop)
not opening. And when I try to install programs that require the browser
(i.e. QuickBooks), they will come back with errors like this one that I got
when trying to install MusicNow software:

"Windows cannot find 'iexplore'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and
then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then
click Search."
and
"Could not execute the external program iexplore."

Also, when opening IE6 is states that it is not my default browser and would
I like to make it my default. It is the only browser that I have installed
on the system. I was able to get the links in Outlook Express to work by
changing the settings in "folder options/file types/url transfer protocol".

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Rob
 
You have not mentioned your OS. You may need to repair or
reinstall the IE. Has your IE got the latest update? Your
OS could be corrupted. May I suggest that you repost, make
it a new one as nobody bothers to go back, and ensure that
you mention your OS in the message.
