Opening web address given by e-mail
When I click on a web address sent by e-mail a box pops up and says "This file does not have a program to open blah blah--------".This has only started recently so can someone help?.

Hi,
Check out this link. Default File Type Associations - Restore
The first fix might be able to resolve your issue.

Look here too and try the reg entry for both html and mhtml.
Default File Type Associations - Restore
Archers suggestion failed to help but has left me with a file named "Search Protect" which is sticking like a burr to a blanket,thank you!!.
Can you open web pages or local html files with your brower?
Right click the object in the eMail, select properties and paste that information in a new post.
I can't tell what it is from your description (a web address) or what application should try to open it. Just because it looks like a web address, doesn't mean it is.

Hello Den,
As a test, see if setting Internet Explorer as the default program with all of it's associations may be able to help.

Pleased to advise that things seem to be working o.k.again and I wish to thank all who have proffered help.Have also managed to eject "SearchProtect" but had to use a combination of command prompt and taskmanager.
Wow SearchProtect seems to associated with Conduit ?

To be quite honest I am not too sure which was the magic elixir because like a fool and in sheer desperation I tried several regardless of consequences as I was on the verge of doing a reinstall.
