Desk top short cuts to internet sites

[Len Urban]

Recently, I have been having a problem when I click on an icon on the desk
top that takes me to a site on the internet. As soon as I select the icon, I
get an error message with the sites address followed by "application not
found". Verizon DSL is my service provider.

Desk top short cuts that go to other application programs (i.e. Word etc.)
work OK.
Outlook works okay and I can still get to the web sites using Internet
Explorer.

I recently downloaded Google Chrome but deleted it when it prevented me from
downloading Adobe Flash.

I tried to restore to a previous time, however, the restore operation
failed.

Thanks,

Len Urban

Thanks Rick:

When I went to your suggest site and used Uniblue, it identified and
corrected a number of files. When I again tried to select a web site icon, I
got not response not even the error message.
