News link
 

I recently lost ability to launch a usenet link from IE8 favourites.
Normally OE6 is launched and the newsgroup opened. IE8 has stopped working
in this way even when the news URL is copied directly into the address bar.
Chrome and Firefox browsers continue to work normally and automatically
launch OE. I have not (knowingly) changed any IE8 settings and it is my
default browser.

Advice much appreciated.
