object has moved

[Guest]

Sometimes when I double click my IE icon the phrase"object has moved to here" appears and here is underlined and is a hyperlink. I'm afraid to click this so I close out and double click my IE icon again and this time it usually goes to my IE homepage. Any ideas as to what might be causing the object has moved to appear? thanks for the help.

A Web page that has moved and left a re-direct command at the old site.

Have you customized your Security settings?

One reason that redirects might not work is that the user
has disabled the security default:
Allow META REFRESH

If that is disabled it causes IE to ignore the delay requested
by coding such as:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=index.html">

There are other ways to do redirects though, so with that scenario
it's not inconceivable that it might work some times but not others.

One way to get a better idea of what is going on without having access
to a packet sniffer would be to use your telnet client to connect to that
site's port 80 and see what HTTP response you get. An HTTP trace
is best though because you can only approximate using telnet
the request that IE makes.
