WoodHorse,

Can you tell us more about what "copy & paste" means? Does it look like a content filter is in place? or is it blocking the address (url)?

it happens when u open a site and that site has mutiple areas to go to.  If u don't right click copy short cut and then paste that in the address bar it will say there is an error with microsoft and send u back to Internet explorer.  With outlook Express u can't always copy and paste.

WoodHorse,
 
Ok, your saying that if you just click on a link, nothing will happen, but if you copy/paste the shortcut into the address bar and press return, it'll take you to the linked webpage? Correct?

WoodHorse,

I'm not sure, but i'm guessing it has something to do with a dll file associated with, or used by Internet Explorer.

Maybe Volcano11(Steve) or NemesisDB might know, try dropping them a note and see what they might think.

Let me know what you find. Alot of members seem to be having a problem with this one.

Mike.
