WinXP SP2 fixes IE browser

There are a number of logging problems with the web browser (IE) that prevent some parts or even the entire browser from working properly.

Click on the link but nothing happens. Enter the URL in the run dialog of the Start menu, but the IE window will not pop up. These are just two of the many problems users face.

An easy way for people to deal with this problem is to reinstall IE. It's also really useful, but you'll find that reinstalling IE is a big deal for this simpler problem.

Many of these problems with IE are found in non-registered dynamic link libraries (DLLs) supported by IE (such as browseui.dll, urlmon.dll, isetup.dll). Sometimes it is because of malicious programs, such as spyware, which makes the DLL unregistered and invades some of the features of IE. And sometimes because of accidents.

For whatever reason, the solution is to re-register the DLL, either by manually registering with the REGSVR32 command or by reinstalling IE. Reinstalling IE resolves this issue because all related DLLs are re-registered by the installer of the application, but manual registration is usually more convenient than the entire installation.

I have talked about these issues in the article, but only involved manual repair. In order to solve this problem, Microsoft made changes in the IE version of Windows XP Server 2 so that all IE DLLs can be re-registered immediately. You can type it at any command prompt:

"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe"/rereg

Pay special attention to the quotes here because it describes the executable Path name.
This method does not work for other versions of Windows, it is only for Windows XP Service Pack 2.
