Mike, check your recycle bin for any 'questionable' files, then
restore them. IF that doesn't fix it, since you can get to the
net, go to the windows update site and see it reinstall IE or
just install the latest version listed there if you haven't
already. If you have the latest already installed that would
mean IE would not be on the list of available updates, so click
'show installed updates' and install from that list. Have you
run the IE repair tool yet?

Many thanks for the replies to the following
If I left click on internet explorer icon, I get the following-
can't
find "",exe:
If I right click the explorer icon and click OPEN then it opens
up OK.
Anybody tell me what stupid thing I've done this time. Have
reinstalled 98se over itself but still the same problem. Thanks
for any
pointers.

I printed out the instructions from Gerry and followed through to
the
letter.
ixplore.exe is not in c:\program files\internet explorer and
nothing
showed up in find--files or folders.
In control panel under add/remove, 'Microsoft internet explorer
and
internet tools' is not listed.
Drilling down through the registry the entry in the
shell\open\command
shows only "%1" the %* is missing. so I think that this time I
have
done a good job on screwing things up. The os is 98se on the c
drive. I
also have os 2000 on a 'g' partition and useing System commander
to
switch to whichever I want. Somehow it appears that I have
managed to
wipe out Internet explorer from 98 and am picking it up from
2000.
Ain't computers fun :-) Think at this stage had better move all
the
programs I want to save onto another partition and do a format of
C:
and put a fresh install of 98se back on.
There's 2.52 gigs on C, that should keep me 'geek-ing' for a whil
e.
Regards to all. Mike.
