When clicking on webpages or scrolling through them w/ a MS wheel mouse, the
IE Help function keeps engaging and the Help screen pops up. Often. Very
annoying. Any ideas?

Try this, Open Control Panel >> Double click Networking and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options and on the IE Properties window
click on AdvancedTab.
There scroll down under the Browsing Option and uncheck this box:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Show Friendly URLs
Click Apply then [OK] to close the IE Pro Window.
Reboot your Machine and try the Internet and see if the issue will reproduce
itself again.
HTH.
Please let us know.

Solution suggested by nass seemed to work for awhile, but the same old
problem is back with a vengence... IE6 interprets a certain signal from my
mouse as if I was hitting the F1 help key and the help screen pops up.
Happens 1x every 3-4 minutes. Also now a problem with Outlook Express, but
does not seem to be a problem in any Office applications. Weird.
