Bug: After IE7 install, clicking "Start-Control Panel-Windows Upda

Right after installing IE7, I can no longer click "Start-Control
Panel-Windows Update" to get into Windows Update.

If I have Firefox open, clicking the "link" will open the page in Firefox.

If I have both Firefox and IE7 open, it will open in Firefox.

If I have both closed, I get an error message that this does not have a file
association and that I need to create one.

What exstension does this link have? How to I remedy this?

You may have a horked install of IE7. I suggest reading the following

Thank you for your fast reply. I will try these solutions and see if they
solve my problems. My guess is that this is not the only bug, but the only
one I noticed.

I should listen to my own advice, never, EVER install first releases......I
just did it now because I was not thinking
