O/S Win XP Pro IE 6 fully updated. To explain precisely:
Using a T.P.Application like Webferret, I get: HTTP:/// AND NOTHING ELSE.
Try and alter HTTP:/// in any way produces
“res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#http:///” The Properties of this produce:
General (URL Properties)
Cannot find server;
Unknown Protocol;
Type not availiable;
Connection: Not encrypted;
Address:[URL]: res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#http:/// ;
Size: Not available;
Created: not available;
Modified not available;
Certificates:none
(I have a .JPG of above).
I have done all sorts of registry searches without identifying anything.
In Internet URL, Tools,Internet Options, Advanced I even tried Restore
Defaults and unchecked ‘show friendly URLs’.
I am at a total loss at this point as a lot of WWW addresses ‘default’ to a http:/// page,clicking continuously, locking all open Apps, and only closing with clicking ‘end task’ in Win Task Manager.
