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.

Made Firefox default then IE8. Made no difference.
FF and Chrome both launch OE even when they are not the default browser.
There must be a corrupt or missing file somewhere. Re-install IE8?
Windows update is up to date.

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you quote all of the previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.

Do links in an OE message open in IE, FF, or Chrome?

1a. Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program
Access and Defaults | Click on the downward-pointing arrows to the right of
the CUSTOM configuration | Browser: Select "Internet Explorer" here (not
"Use my current...").

Illustration: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/r...p1_beta_03.gif

1b. Now check your settings he IE Tools | Internet Options | Programs |
Default web browser.

2. If still no joy, see
