Lately, something has changed when I need to open a link in a webpage.
Recently when I do a search and open a webpage, then left-click on a link
within that webpage, it doesn't open or appear. But if I right-click on
that same link and select "Open in a New Window", it opens. What is the fix
for this please?

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

There is no URL:HyperText in the Folder Options file types? There is only
one URL entry there which says URL Internet Shortcut. I also went to Run
and typed regsvr32 urlmon.dll, which said the run was successful, but there
is still only one entry in the Folder Options file types. What next can I
do?

It should be near the top of the list with the others that have NONE as the
file type.

Since you're using WinXP SP2, try this command line from Start | Run

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /rereg
