Re: DESKTOP ICONS..WEBSITES

Have you tried re-creating any of the desktop shortcuts? Go to one of the websites, right click on the webpage and select Create Shortcut from the pop-up menu.

I have several shortcuts re:various websites on my desktop..

I, just recently, moved my computer.

Ever since, when I double click on the icon, the website does NOT open;
instead, I must right click on the icon, go to properties...copy the
address...

then, open INTERNET EXPLORER (via an icon on the desktop <which works>), and
paste the address in the address field.

WHY DO MY DESKTOP ICONS SUDDENLY FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY??

HOW IS THIS PROBLEM FIXED? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
