Hi Tye - Go to Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Scroll down
to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol/Advanced/Edit. Under Application used to
perform action it should read: "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes. It may be "%SystemDrive%:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft
Internet" for NT4. )
DDE should be set to: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application should say: IExplore
DDE application not running should be blank
Topic should be: WWW_OpenURL
The above settings should also be there for URL:Gopher.
Here's a more detailed procedure for this if you have difficulty, courtesy
of Robert Aldwinckle:
"1. Find Files for E:\Program Files\iexplore.exe
(That's a partial path I'm giving it to just get there quicker.)
2. Use Alt-Enter to open the Properties for that file
3. Click on the Location: field. Select it all (Shift-F10,A)
4. Copy it to the clipboard. (Shift-F10,C)
5. Open Folder Options and navigate to
Editing action for type: URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
6. In the box labeled Application used to perform action (Alt-L)
highlight everything _between_ the first doublequote and the
last backslash. NB: leave unhighlighted the characters I mention
and everything after the last backslash.
7. Press Ctrl-v
8. Close the dialogs.
....
If there are other protocols you need fixed do them in the same way.
Here's what my procedure is based on. It will give you a
bit more detail about step 5 which is OS dependent.
FWIW I start Folder Options using my Start menu
(Win,s,f) (I'm using Windows NT + WDU.)
