This happened to me several weeks ago, and I'm trying my best to
recollect how I solved it.

Ok, this much I can remember: something in the registry about how
Windows (or IE) should handle Internet shortcut or about the default
browser was broken. (Yes, IE was still the default browser, but it
didn't behave normally, as you described.) IMS, I just ticked the
"Internet Explorer should check to see if it is the default" option
(which I usually disable), and restarted IE. Alah, it asked to fix
something for it's no longer the default browser. I let it fixed,
and everything's back to normal.
I thought at first, as you do, that it's TB's fault. Then I found it
happened when I clicked on links from my newsreader as well. I
suspect it's the newly installed Netscape 6 that broke it (though I
didn't let Netscape to be my default browser when it asked), but I
couldn't prove it.
