Still Don't Do Right

[Gary]

I had tried most everything suggested before my original message or have
tried them now since your kind answer. It still does the same thing. All
shortcuts to webpages put on the desktop have the <title> from the html
document + .url as the filename. For example the title of the webpage at
the url, www.google.com is "Google Search:" If I right-click the webpage
and create a short cut, the filename placed on the desktop is "Google
Search.url" There is only one tab when I right-click and choose properties
instead of two as with a shortcut, so the web address is not even there.
Even when I attempt to manually create a shortcut by right-clicking on the
desktop and choosing New>Shortcut and typing or pasting in the "command
line" with a web address, it still results in the same thing, except it has
the title I gave it as the name folowed by the .url.

The issues may be that you have too many icons on the desktop and need to
increase the ShellIconCache.



How to use a .reg file to increase the Icon Cache
The Icon Cache in Win 95/98 can be enlarged. You can use the following. Copy
the lines below,
first line "REGEDIT4", last line to include just above asterisks. Past into
a new NotePad file
and save as "MaxIcons.REG" (including quotes.) Execute. Note that if you've
got it copied
correctly, when you run the cursor all the way down, it should have an empty
line above it.
Required.

After enlarging the Icon cache, then run Find, locate ShellIconCache, and
delete it.
Then reboot.The Icon cache should be all healthy now.
