Now whenever I click on any programme it IE starts and obviously there in Addreess BAR the Full PAth is there and below it shows that the Following Page was unable to find etc.

I'd try to boot up in DOS mode and edit the registry from there.

Also, you don't mention your operating system, but here is a link with some ideas on how to repair a damaged Windows 98 registry. The OS may not be the same, but many fixes should still apply.

Good luck,

Registry Drill:
This utility is more extensive than Norton or Nuts & Bolts, though it isn't a household name. Don't let its obscurity stop you: Our shareware evaluator says this is one of the best Registry analysis and repair tools. It conducts 15 searches covering parts of the Registry that other systems tools ignore. It then searches for errors by comparing your Registry with a database of known entries. If it spots an error, you can access more information about it and/or clean it. The program also compacts your Registry to optimal size. Note that the program's most advanced features are disabled in this trial version.

Clean your Windows Registry of corrupted or unused Registry keys:

Repairing the Windows Registry:

(Don't forget to REMOVE those pesky SPACES from the pasted URLs.)

Also, your emergency repair disk (if you have one) might be able to repair the registry. And loading Windows over itself (if it's a Windows 9x) could also repair damaged files.

So, there are several possible solutions for you.
I hope one of them helps.

Best of luck,

Maxwell

Sometimes a quick solution to deleted registry entires is to reinstall the application. In this case, you might try re-installing your browser.
