My internet desktop icons NO LONGER WORK.

Clicking on them does NOTHING.

HOW IS THIS FIXED?

Thanks,

Find the files or programs they pointed to. Then edit the shortcuts.
 
Mr Ramesh:

I opened

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

and I clicked on URL File Association Fix, saved the file, then ran the file.

HOWEVER, the directions say..."extract the REG file to your hard disk and
double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt..."

RE: THE ABOVE, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!

Can you please help??

thanks,

When you double-click the .zip file, the Extract all files command appears
in the Folder Tasks list. When you click Extract all files, the Extraction
Wizard starts. You are prompted to choose a location to place the extracted
files, and then the files are extracted.

The above assumes that you're not using any third-party software like
Winzip.

Type in Start, Run:

regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll

If that does not help, download and apply the .URL association fix from
here:
