If you haven't done so since the drag/drop install of IE 5.1 on your OS
8.1 machine, try rebuilding the desktop.
I found recently that there _seem_ to be cases when a freshly introduced
app, though it may be double-clicked and run normally, is not always seen
by the desktop DB, as in using a call such as:
tell application "Finder"
open application file id "MSIE"
end tell
You may also run into problems if there is more than one version of
Explorer on your machine (or a user's). The user's _preferred_ version
may not be opened by the generic id call (though I think the most recent
is the one used).
If your scripts aren't run-only, they will 'learn' via the 'Where Is
Explorer?' dialog... and asking the user to find the preferred app once
may not prove to be such a burden.
Something less than two cents worth.
