I have 2 problems with web document shorcut url's and favorites that no longer open in IE6: 1. Web documents internet shortcuts on my desktop no longer open. I receive the following error message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." **How do I associate a program in the Folder Options control panel? 2. When I click on Start, go to Favorites, click on any web document, I get the following error message about internet shortcuts: "The object that 'C:\Documents and Settings\....\Desktop\....com.url' refers to has been removed or is inaccessible." **How can this problem be resolved? My Desktop and Favorite folders are in tact on C:\Documents and Settings, and the local programs work fine. It's only the web document-based files that will not open on desktop or favorites menu. These problems started unexpectedly yesterday (7/30/2008) with no new recent changes on my system. (Win2K, pro) Any advice and help is appreciated. Thanks.

I used to think that these must be from people who thought that they had to post something (e.g. nothing) to vote (ignoring the twits who spam a newsgroup with moronic echos.) But apparently some claim that they actually have written something too (in invisible ink?) and that it just wasn't posted. ; } As for your problem(s) I couldn't understand it. I would probably try using ProcMon (or RegMon and FileMon) to get more clues. In any case this newsgroup is not really the best one to conduct troubleshooting sessions in.
