When I select an icon on my desk top, I receive an error message telling me
windows cannot find the site I've selected and to make sure I've typed in
the correct location, etc. Then, within a couple of seconds, the site
selected appears.
It happens a lot and is very annoying. How do I get rid of this/these types
of error messages?
Help, and thanks!!!!
