[sammy]

Okay, this happened AFTER uninstalling IE 8, which my friend didnt like on
his PC do to incompatible w. some sites. REMOVED VIA cONTROL PANEL. Before i
removed IE 8 i install firefox-mozilla. went to restart, and KABAM, no thing
but a blank desktop and an error popup that says:
The ordinal 421 could not be located in the dynamic link library urlmon.dll
i do have another post but i cant get the dos command he gave me to work,
maybe im miss-entering it:
Then browse to the windows folder. then running the following command

for /f %s in (dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s
