Hi

I have a problem. Everything was working fine until few days ago when
problems
occured. My oS is Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 installed. Internet
Exlplorer
work fine when I type in adresses manually but when I try to open a page via
shortcut on my desktop printer, application starts up and offers to print.
What
is the problem here?
 
From a command prompt;
assoc .url
should return with
..url=InternetShortcut
If not
assoc .url=InternetShortcut
to restore the file type association.

ftype internetshortcut
should return with
internetshortcut=rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
If not
ftype internetshortcut=rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
to restore the default "Open" action.

I agree with Dave on that. It looks like the verb 'Print' is the default &
not 'Open'

All you need to do is to go into FOLDER OPTIONS in CONTROL PANEL, click the
FILE TYPES tab, scroll down to URL & if possible click DEFAULT if there is
an option there, if not change to 'Shell Doc Object and Control Library'

If you click ADVANCED then:

open = 'rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l'
print = 'C:\WINNT\system32\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "%1"'
printto = 'rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "%1" "%2"
"%3" "%4"'

(without single quotes above)

Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|File Types|"URL"|Advanced and make sure the
open action is default. Failing that what happens if you logon as a new
user? (create a new account in 'Users and Passwords').

| The "ftype internetshortcut" was bad, but the problem is still the same.
 
Thanks to you guys i solve the problem.The verb "Open" was default,
but I first changed to "Print" and than I returned to "Open".
 
Glad to hear it. You're welcome.
