I have created internet shortcuts on my desktop. When I double click on
them it pops a blank IE page but then gives the error "windows cannot find
'<URL>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again." I assume
the file associations are correct as it pops a blank IE page. If I make the
shortcut https:\\www...... then it works fine but if the shortcut is
http:\\www... then it pops the error.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Matt!
