IE6 - Problem Sending Command To The Program.

Every time I double-click on any web page file on my hard
drive in Win XP (*.html,*.htm,*.mht), with IE6 already
open, I get a pop-up error message: "There was a problem
sending the command to the program." There is no other
info given about the error whenever this happens.

However, I can open these types of files from within a
previously open Internet Explorer window (File->Open) and
other programs. I have no other errors when surfing or
otherwise using my computer. I have checked that there
are no critical Windows Updates that I haven't already
downloaded. Also, if no other IE windows are already
open, then I do not get this error.

I've tried reseting the file associations, run ad-aware,
virus checker, disk defrag. Does anyone have any idea of
how to fix this, so that I can open my files normally? Or
at least, can anyone tell me what this error message
means? Thanks for any suggestions or comments.

I would certainly see if these spyware/parasites expert can help identifying
a new variant.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:

Sign in, then copy and paste both files in your message.
