Just recently, when I click on a hyperlink contained in an e-mail or on a website, a new window opens named ‘Locate Link Browser’ instead of just searching and opening the link. This is using XP Pro with Internet Explorer 6. Hyperlink lists found by IE open OK.

The browser would normally already be open so why should I locate it?

What can I do to make it open the site directly I click on the link?

well .. you have not defined a "default-application" ..

or defined it but moved theyr location

its in IE .. at tools -> advanced ... and then something like "check for default browser every startup"

i just sit in a damm Icafe @ mbk .. and canot look about the setting ;-)

Have a look at:
