Re: Desktop shortcut

Double-clicking Internet Shortcuts launches the Print dialog rather
than opening the webpage:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/internetshortcut.htm

I see in http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx that
the recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Thanks for any and all help,
