"William Thompson" wrote in message ... "David Haggas" wrote in message ... 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. |

To repeat the problem I am trying to resolve: Typing (for e.g) news:microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_out lookexpress into the IE8 address bar has no effect. Typing news:microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_out lookexpress into the address bar of Chrome or Firefox launches outlook express and opens the newsgroup. IE6 (and initially IE8) did the same. Now IE8 will not do for some reason. You should add the server news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress OP started this in the IEAK NG with a different problem description. It's possible the new problem description has been influenced by replies he got the http://groups.google.com/group/micro...&q=ieak+haggas BTW I just tested this new scenario on my XPsp3 + IE8 where I currently have: cmd_output E:\ftype news news="%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /newsurl:"%1" /cmd_output E.g. I entered in the IE Address bar (while the above link was opened) news:microsoft.public.internet.explorer.ieak (that NG because it was simpler to type than the above example w) and got a prompt (which apparently could be avoided by unchecking a checkbox): transcription message Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer? From: groups.google.com Program: Outlook Express /message checkbox checked Always ask before opening this type of address checkbox button "Allow" / button "Cancel" / /transcription Clicking the Allow button causes a switch to OE open at that IEAK NG. YMMV BTW I just realized there is implied functionality in that dialog which could account for OP's symptom. E.g. what would happen if I: 1. unchecked the checkbox (so presumably I would never see it again) 2. chose Cancel (implying that besides never seeing the prompt again I also want all subsequent requests to be cancelled?) If you try testing that case I suggest having ProcMon doing RegMon tracing for you; otherwise be prepared to do a RIES because I have no idea where that switch would be stored. eg FYI Robert --- I did get the above dialogue "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer?" when first changing to IE8. I clicked "allow" and for several weeks it worked fine. I have obviously (unknowingly) done something to stop this working in IE but not in other browsers. The "switch" will hopefully reappear when I re-install IE8. I did try adding the MSnews server and that too is inaccessible from IE8. Thanks David |
