Hello,
When clicking on a shortcut i/e www.slingo.com or any IE shortcut the print
window will appear.
How would I get the shortcut to open in the program in which the shortcut
was mad for.

WinXP SP2 Home
IE 7.0

Hope you can help.

If that doesn't help, since you are running the beta IE7 post your
question in the newsgroup for that program:

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Please be aware that "beta" means software that is unfinished and still
in the bug-checking phase. Beta software should not be run on
production machines or on any machine that you are unwilling to wipe.

Check this key in the registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell

and see if it set to anything.

Then check this:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\open\command

and see if it is set to:

rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
 
Robert,

Best option is to try in IE7 groups, as Malke said:

This is because IE7 introduces another module for handling .URL files.

That's for IE6, Larry. For IE7, here is the command:

rundll32.exe ieframe.dll,OpenURL %l
