Another twist to this mystery:

I'm using Internet Explorer V 6. So why does the Target point to
Content.IE5? That's the V 5 folder. There is no Content.IE5, 6, or anything
else folder. The shortcut is not that old. It has the shortcut filename is
"083104[1].xls" which is the file downloaded Yesterday using IE 6.

This is getting really weird!

It's like my computer is holding the file hostage and won't let me get to
its location. lol!
