Yet Another IE problem

Booted up the Win2K laptop this am and double-clicked a URL short-cut on the desktop but instead of opening the web-page it took me to two overlaid dialogue windows - one advising that my very aged Opera beta had expired and the other asking if I wanted to save the file or open it (the open option opening it in Opera). Uninstalled the Opera and checked file associations (url, htm, html) were with IE6 but after System Mechanic and a reboot, all it would do was offer to open or save the .url file. The "open" dialogue box wouldn't open it as a page - just as source html code.

No spyware and protected by Panda Antivirus and firewall.

Anybody have any ideas - ----------?

Anyone recall the IE6 "repair" procedure?
