Cockatoo,
Thought I would be able to help but I can not find my notes. Had the same thing to happen on an employee's machine. The bottom line is that you visited some prick that install something that has fucked up IE and you have two solutions - install another browser or restall your operating system in order to fix IE. I wasted hours trying to fix mine. Located a bunch of fixes, did those and ended up bring the OS down. Finally rebuild the box, installed XP and started over.
