Desktop Shortcut

Guest

My desktop shortcuts on my laptop with url addresses quit working. If I
retype in the url address the shortcut will work once, then sbusequent
attempts give an error message that windows cannot find the url. A blank
browser screen comes up and if I type in the url in the address bar it works.
All other desktop shortcuts to program files work. Shortcuts in my taskbar
with url addresses work as well. This problem just started. I'm running
WIndows XP with SP2 and all updates. Thanks for any help. Would appreciate
reply to [email protected]?? without the question marks.

Hi Dprint,

What do you mean by "quit working". Do they launch Internet Explorer window
correctly, or nothing happens when you double-click the .URL files?
Meanwhile, to fix the Internet shortcut associations, try these commands
from Start, Run dialog:

regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
