Unfortunately, the answer is not totally simple, but there is a solution to this problem. First of all, it has nothing to do with PowerPro. When Firefox sets up the file associations for http, ftp, https, and the others, it enables DDE in the "open" definition. The DDE is what causes this error message. I'm not going to try to teach anyone how to deal with modifying file association definitions in the various forms of Windows. Much too messy. If you know how, go for it. If you need to find out how, there are other resources. If you go to whatever "registered file types" dialog is appropriate for your version of Windows, (in Win2k you click the tools/folder options/file types menu item in the menu bar of an open folder) you can edit the definition for "open" for URL:Hypertext transfer protocol and the others. Simply uncheck the "Use DDE" check box and the problem will go away. Alternatively for you Registry muckers, in HKCR/http, HKCR/https you can delete the DDEEXEC key from .../shell/open to accomplish the same thing. Personally I used the file associations dialog, but YMMV. Disclaimer!!!!!!!!!! This worked for me. I make no guarantees that it will work for anyone else. When you muck about with file associations or the registry, you can make stuff stop working and work wrong. Don't blame me! If you screw up http and https, you can get back to the way it was by telling IE to make itself the default browser again and then telling Firefox to make itself the default browser.
