Speaking of Thunderbird, a while back I installed some off the wall
fringe browser that made itself the default browser. When clicking a URL
in Thunderbird it would open it in that browser (I don't even remember
what browser it was). After un-installing the browser, whenever I click
a URL now, it will open IE but then IE hangs forever. It won't open the
URL. Any idea on how to make it start working again short of
reinstalling Thunderbird?

Thunderbird uses the windows setting so correct it-

Go to Control Panel-Folder Options-File types-
Select "URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol"-Click Advanced
Select Open-Click Edit
Make sure the path is correct in "Application" box (should be
[browserpath "%1"] without [] )
Uncheck use DDE and click ok ok ok


Thank you. All I had to do was uncheck use DDE and it corrected it.
