bugsonfilm.com Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 where the registery can be accessed to check if the 'named values are there'my 'find' files is one of the links that will not work - may sound basic knowledge, but my knowledge of internals is most limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Start, run and type: regeditClick OK!If that does not work look in: C:\WINDOWS for regedit and double click it.Then follow to the paths as in the article, click the "+".

Guest nellie2 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Is it any site that you can't copy and paste from? Are you saying that you don't get the option in your right click menu?? some websites don't allow you to copy.Have you tried Ctrl-C for copy and Ctrl-V for paste?Also is it all hyperlinks that don't work? Or just a particular one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsonfilm.com Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Have cracked it!!all sympyoms of IEv6 probs - just as the site you suggested says may happen.turns out, after slow process of illimination, that it was a restriction placed by an administrator for the user. (this is a second hand pc with operating system on board)have signed in as administrator and (so far) can use copy and paste as well as click any link I wish.sounds simple and obvious - now we know!thanks for your time anyway, very much appreciatedRegardsStephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
