Need To Associate IE

[[email protected]]

Win 98SE system.

Do not ask. My wife renamed Iexplore.exe to Iexplore.old then back to
Iexplore.exe. Now when she tries to run IE from the desktop there is a
message that the file is not associated with a program. OK.

My Computer->View->Folder Options.

After that I am lost. I do not have the least idea of what to do. Can
anyone help?

TIA.

Hi Bob,

To use the Internet Explorer Repair tool:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
double-click Add/Remove Programs.
2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Internet Explorer, click
Add/Remove, click "Repair the current installation of Internet Explorer",
and then click OK.

It's possible the icon on the desktop is still referencing iexplore.old.
Remove the icon off the desktop, locate the file iexplore.exe in Windows
Explorer, copy it, then paste it to your desktop.

Go to Start | Run and type the following, exactly as you see it:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE" /reg
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct)

You may need to delete and then recreate IE shortcuts.
