Hello Ming-Li,
Well, thank you - you pointed me in the right direction. After
reading your reply, I remembered that this problem appeared right
after I had installed Opera 5 (commanding it, of course, not to make
itself the default browser.
I tried what worked for you with no luck, and finally just reinstalled
IE, whereupon everything returned to normal. So thanks again, god
knows how long I would have wrestled with it without your help.
