I found a solution. For Vista:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Policies
\Explorer

DWORD Value
Name: NoInternetOpenWith
Value: 1

You can try to set it for all users instead: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Explorer

and create the Dword InternetOpenWith. Again the default value should be 0 for the newly created key. If it is set to another value change it to 0. Try rebooting the computer as well, maybe that helps ?

Archer no everything is like it worked on my system. Did you create a Dword and name it InternetOpenWith ? The value is 0 by default as it should be.

man, i really wanted this to work.

did you possibly leave out something in the dword config, martin?
