Firefox is my default browser. If I drag a URL to my desktop, when I
click on it later Firefox opens with that URL, but I also get a Windows
error message, saying that Windows can't find the file, make sure I've
typed it correctly, etc. How to I put an end to the error messages?

Thanks!

Open Control Panel, Folder Options, File Types tab
Select "(NONE) URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol"
Click Advanced, Select open and click Edit
Uncheck "Use DDE" and Click OK
Click OK > OK to close the dialogs



Good Luck, Ayush.
