I lost my ability to click on an OE link

I use to be able to click on a link and IE would open to that link. That ability just went away and I can't find where to reselect that option.
I assume it's either in OE or IE but it's lost to me.
Thanks in advance.

Let's re-register some dll's and see if it helps.

Quit all programs that are running.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll and then click OK.
When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK.
If this does not resolve the problem, repeat the process for each of the following files:

Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll
Shell32.dll

 

Re-registering the .Dll's didn't help.

Then we need to round up the usual suspects.

If this is a recent ailment, try using System Restore to predate the problem.

If no joy there, run SFC /scannow from the Run window.

 

I have to attend to other matters for a while so I'll give you the next step, assuming you are still being troubled. Read this relevant link and try the offerings presented.

Later.

 

You did it again. Running the scan did nothing, but tis is what did work from the link you provided.:
Thank you very much.

Then highlight Open and Click Edit to see this:

Good deal. Now I can save my big gun that I was hiding behind the curtain.

I'll link it in here just to beat this issue to death from all angles. This is from when I was a gentle breeze from the west.
