IE 7 and desktop shortcuts

[Guest]

Since installing IE 7 RC1, desktop shortcuts that just use a URL will only
work once. Then they hang. If I do a re-boot, they will work again. I can
put the URL in the links bar and all is fine. Any ideas?

You might want to post your question in an Internet Explorer group like

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

, rather than in a .NET group, but if you really are running an IE 7 Release
Candidate, the first thing you should do is download the actual release
version of IE 7 and try that. If you subscribe to Windows Update, you should
have already received the release version.
