I'm running Windows ME and OE 6. Whenever I click on a hyperlink in OE, my
screen freezes and I have to cntrl/alt/del to get out. I restart OE and
everything is O.K. until I click on another hyperlink again.

Go to View | Folder Options | File Types in Windows Explorer and check
the values for URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol (click edit, open, edit).
The values should read:
application:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL


NOTE: The above applies to Win9x. For WinMe, Win2000, and WinXP, use
Tools | Folder Options or Control Panel | Folder Options to access the
file types. Then edit the OPEN action for the file type. The actual
values specified above are the same for each Operating System.

If you find that the above process is set correctly, and you still have
problems, then go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

and see if that fixes the problem.

It works! BUT, now when I use my Quick Launch buttons on my taskbar, I get a
window that comes up "Launch (whichever application) Properties". Shortcuts
on my desktop still work, but the Quick Launch buttons do not.

So - delete the ones on the quick launch bar, right click - delete , and
drag and drop the ones on your desktop that work, to the quick launch
bar. I only use the ones on the quick launch, and delete desktop ones.
