Internet Shorcuts always asks for what program to open with. How to fix this?

When it asks you for the program to open it with, choose which ever one it needs and tick the box which says always use this program.

I did tick the box, it will open once, but next time I try to open it asks me the same thing.

I do that, but next time I try to open it asks me the same thing.

I have done that but it still goes back to the same way.

Only other suggestion I have is to open windows explorer/tools/folder option and check the default program for opening each entry in it. If its incorrect, change it to the correct one.

I have to pick wich program to open with.

What browser are you using? MS IE (version/sp?), Mozilla Firefox(?), etc. It may be a browser specific setting you have to look for.

I'm using MS IE.
thanks for the reply

In 98/98SE there was an IE Repair Tool. I booted my XP-Home machine and looked around but could not find it. There are people in this forum with MUCH more XP experience than I have so you may want to wait for further opinions. The only thing I have to suggest at this point would be an XP repair (via booting with the CD and choosing Repair).
