A FOLLOW UP AND MORE INFORMATION

It appears that any type of html link that has a COM in the type is the
culprit link which is dead.

I have tried the fix in MS knowledge base 281679 :

Titled "You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens
After You Click a Link" with no success at all.

My administrative and one user account remains unaffected.

Very Frustrated.

How can I do that? That sounds like something that might
be useful with one of my programs.
Thank you ever so much!

If your game or application works with admin accounts, but not with
limited accounts, you can fix it to allow limited users to access the
program files folder with "change" capability rather than "read" which
is the default.

C:\>cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p users:c

where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

If you wish to undo these changes, then run

C:\>cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p users:r

If you still have a problem with running the program or saving settings
on limited accounts, you may need to change permissions on the registry
keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app, where
"vendor\app" is the key that the software vendor used for your specific
program. Change the permissions on this key to allow Users full control.
