IE6 does not link from web design software

[Yvaine]

IE6 does not open any more when invoked from a web design
software. I have this problem in Frontpage 2002 when
trying to open the "permissions" panel from the live web
(direct connection with server). The same thing happens
when I try to just view a page with IE6 that I am
designing in Dreamweaver MX. The other browser opens
without problems.
I can view both permissions panel and page being designed
if I open IE6 separately from the application.
My OS is XP Pro.
Any idea what could be causing this problem, and how to
make it work as before?

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" 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.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
