I downloaded 5.5.It works fine but whenever I try to open up a folder on my desktop...for example My documents folder, My computers folder, and other folders I have created which contains shortcuts to applications, it gives me &quot;internet explorer script error.Object : not found, Line : 1, character : 1.<br>This occurs even while I try to open up windows explorer or settings-control panel.I tried to uninstall internet explorer 5.5 and reinstalled it but the problem was persistent.I seem to have lost a bit and was unable to solve this problem.All the other applications are working file.And after this error message comes up,I have to say yes or no four times.Then the folders come up.<br>I tried to search on the web but no success at all and I have written to many areas but have not yet to receive a solution. I do hope that someone can help me with this. <br>Any help would be appreciated in this regard.<br>Anticipating replies.<br>Thank you very much.<br>Ashish U.Mehta.
