I think I lost my associations with HTML/URL links. When I open *.url files,
nothing happens (when in the past it would open the URL inside the file).
When trying to load websites (from links) then I get an error popup message
that says:
---
Windows cannot find 'http://example.com/'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button,
and then click Search.
---
If I load up internet explorer and manually type or paste the url in, then
it's fine.

I need this fixed as I cannot use DimSum Chinese Tools* since it relies on
this mechanism.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting

pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list?
