Default O E 6.0 opening 60 IE 6 windows

I'm running windows xp with all the current service packs. The problem is
clicking on a "mail to:" link on a website opens 60 IE windows and tells me
that my default e mail client is not configured properly. It just started
this and O E 6 will not remain the defalut e mail after I change the
settings. I believe this is also preventing IE 7 from being installed.

Some third party programs that you install to prevent popups and ads can
cause this. Disable them and see if the problem goes away.

If no help, see this page for mo

The pop up blockers aren't on, so I tried following the link. I can't open
the mailto key. I get an "error while opening key" message. I can't rename
it or delete it either. I did find out it is only on my user screen that this
happens.

Are you logged on as the Administrator or does your user account have
Administrator privileges? That is required to make the changes.

Even in safe mode I am unable to open the mailto key. It does not have the
"+" symbol next to the icon. It won't even accept permission changes to the
key. I've also tried every way to get OE 6 to be default, but it won't accept
any of them.

Just highlight the mailto key in the left hand pane, then go to the right
hand pane and right click in a blank area, selecting New and String Value.
Then enter: URL Protocol
and exit regedit and reboot.
