This type of problem is usually the result of the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) option being enabled in the Windows Registry for the type of URL that you are trying to open. In Windows Explorer, open Tools > Folder Options… and select the File Types tab. When you’ve found the type of URL in question (e.g. URL:HTTP …), select it and click Edit…. In the list of Actions select open and click Edit…. Uncheck the Use DDE checkbox and press OK until you are finally out of the Folder Options dialog.
