talon Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I am a bit puzzled about this one, hope someone can shed some light on thisI have a unattended DVD that is running with out errors, however, after everything is completed, when ever I click on IE Icon on the desktop, It shows me a dialog box indicated that the program specified is not found.If I go to C:\programs files\Internet Explorer, I can see that Internet explorer is installed. When I click on this IE opens up, It asks me "do you want to set it as default and I click on Yes and not to ask me again".If I create a text file and rename the extension to HTML or HTM, and click on it, It gives me an error message indicating that there is no program associated with it even though IE is installed and works fine.Can anyone help please,I am using IE 6.0 with SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 is this win2000? i think at some point u typed program files and it didn't accept the long filename and therefore it looks for progra~1, try to find that through the registry and change it to program filesand if its the way u wrote "programs files" it might be wrong due to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
