Instructions for Repairing Internet Explorer 6 Installation if something screws it up on you

IPlural, this can be done through 'add and remove' programs in Control Panel... unless I'm mistaken.

maybe, I do it this way because it hasn't failed yet, and through add/remove it has many times in the past.

just preference I guess...

6 isn't like 5.5 and below... and it also isn't the same in 2000 or below and XP...

Never mind, I checked and although that is valid, Internet Explorer doesn't always show in add/remove programs (it doesn't in mine) so your solution is probably best...

If you click on a hyperlink in a web page and only a blank window appears,

Start : Run

enter regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Click Ok when finished

IPlural, how do you back up the email folders in Outlook Express?
I know that for Outlook you just have to save the pst file, but it's different in OE.
Do you know how to do it?

OMG!
That fixed my IE. It even fixed searching from the address bar which has been broken for months.

Thank you! Thank you!

this is going to sound screy probably

change dir/folders to:

C:\Documents and Steeings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{numbers and chars of a registry key entry}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

zip all the files into one compressed file saving the path information if you want, and then move it to some place to store it...

Then load Express and compact your email so it deletes older mail up to the date you have set it to keep, example: 10 days, ect....

thats the fast way without a program made to back it up....

glad it did help ms D.

Thanks, John........
