Probably the easiest fix is to reinstall Internet Explorer as it is installed with Explorer installation. Yours may be corrupt.

Run file seach and see if you have 2 shlwapi.dll files on your computer. See if there is one in Adobe if there is and it is older than system shlwapi.dll, copy system shlwapi.dll into Adobe.

b) Microsoft Knowledge Base (A bit difficult
to use, sometimes, but often have dealt
with really obscure problems....
