You didn't mention which OS or version of IE you're using, but if IE is version 5.5 or later I would try this...

Go to my computer, Tools | Folder Options | File Types (or Control Panel | Folder Options) depending on your operating system.

Scroll down to the "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocols", click "Edit" twice and make sure the following is in the "Application used to perform action" box:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome

The same applies for URL:Gopher

DDE should be set to: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application should say: IExplore
DDE application not running should be blank
Topic should be: WWW_OpenURL

You should also ensure that the following files are the correct version for your system, and correctly registered.

Run the following commands from Start/Run. Run each line individually. After each run, you should see a short message stating the command was successful.

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

Also if you have anything other than the latest version of IE you should go to the windows update site and download the latest version. That might be the quickest way to resolve the problem.
