Favorites Desktop Shortcuts Dont Work

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello All,
I have created several URL shortcuts to the desktop from the favorites pane
in IE6. I right clicked, then send to, then desktop shortcut. They stopped
working. They do not open IE6 or the webpage. Nothing seems to happen. If
I open IE6 then favorites then click on the favorite it opens just fine.
These desktop shortcuts did work but I'm not sure why they no longer open
the URL's. I did delete them and tried to recreate them to no avail. I
also cleared all cookies and IE6 temp files again to no avail. I'm at a
loss, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any Replies in Advance
