I screwed up. Always looking for a better mousetrap, I installed Firefox.
Decided to go back to IE. Now when I try to open a program on the internet,
like a Yahoo group, The "Open With" window comes up and I have to select IE
and the program opens. I have checked the box that is supposed to save the
setting. Still have to select IE the next time. The icons for the program
do not have the IE logo as they did before. I did a Windows XP Repair
install thinking this would reinstall and fix IE, but did not work. Can any
one help me with this??? I promise not to fool around with other browsers.
Thanks in advance,

Found the problem. In Internet Options/Programs/Reset web settings. Works
now. Thanks

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been searching and fooling around with the same problem. Also what
disappears is the file extension association!
In my computer, tools, file options.. my html and htm files associated with
Firefox. What was worse, is the IE disappeared in the list completely so I
could not even get it back!

I reset as you said and YEAH! all is back to normal!
Firefox installed just before this happened to me too.
Thanks so much
