desk top short cut problem?

[Guest]

Would someone be kind to tell me how to create a file association option on
control panel? I have home edition xp pack2, explorer version 7. the past I
can just create a short cut from any website and place it on my desk top
temporarily, but now when I do that It says, "the file doest not have a
program associated with it for performing this action. create an association
in th folder option control panel"

thanks in advance
