Weird. I have the same problem, getting the standard IE page can't be displayed message when clicking links. You're fix didn't exactly work for me but put me on a track that did. When re-selecting all options didn't have an effect I tried them one by one and found that it if I didn't have "send quicklinks directly to Kazza" selected it created the .dat files at least . So it's an extra step to restart, but it works. Thanks for the help!
