can someone send me the registry file ??? iinfi1 AT gmail DOT com

EDIT: [enoonmai] Please use the Edit button to effect changes.

If you want the reg key, simply copy-paste this into a text file and rename it with a .reg extension instead of the .txt extension.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE\" -nohome"

Double click the .reg file to add the information into your registry. Do compare the contents shown here to YOUR own existing reg. key with regedit before proceeding.
