[Max]

Went to Kellys-korner, downloaded and ran 268. No fix.
What did I do wrong?

Max,
Some program (usually spyware\parasite) may have overridden the URL prefix
setting?

Use the attached reg file to repair the corrupted or altered (spyware) HTTP
prefixes:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/RepairDefaultPrefix.reg

Download, right-click and select: Edit (to view in Notepad)
Right-click and select: Merge (to enter the info into the Registry)
Reboot, repost with your results.
[or]
Open Regedit to the following locations and verify the below default
entries:
Start | Run (type) "regedit" (no quotes)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPre
fix]
@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
"{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497}"=""

Note: edit as needed, *always* Export before editing.

Max,
You'll need this one also ......
1) Restores the missing Tabs in IE (usually spyware related)
2) Unlocks the grayed-out Home Page section
3) Removes the Administrator message in Internet Options
