If you've used the HTAStop.exe utility to close the windows security
I've heard that can cause similar problems with the user panel as well.
Firstly try turning it off with the Permit HTA Apps button and if that
doesnt work, you can try going into c:/<windows directory>/system32 and
looking for mshta.efx & mshta.exe files.

If you can find both you can try renaming mshta.exe to something else
and renaming mshta.efx to mshta.exe which manually undoes the changes
done by HTAStop

If that's not the case then try:
Easiest way to do this is open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools/Folder Options and open the File Types tab.

Press the New button, enter "hta" in the File extention box and press
the Advanced >> button.

You should now see an Associated File Type drop down list.

Look in the drop down for "HTML Application". If you can find it, then
select it, click OK, close the folder associations windows and
everything might well be working again (certainly it worked for me).

If HTML Application isnt in the list then you can try creating it
manually (though I havent tried this myself).

To do that, press the << Advanced button to hide the Associated File
Type list box and press OK.

This should create a new newfile type in the Registered File types
window with Extention "hta" and File Type "hta"

Select this extension and press Advanced on the which should bring up
the Edit File Type window, Press New to bring up the New Action window
and enter "open" in the Action box and
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mshta.exe "%1" %*
in the Application Used to Perform Action box.

Then tick the Use DDE checkbox and enter "mshta" in the Application box
and "System" in the topic box.

Press OK on the New Action and Edit File Type windows and close on the
Folder Option window and hopefully that will have fixed things.
