Hi,
I am an older "newbie" and find some issues considerably frustrating. I am
running Windows XP Pro on a Compaq laptop. I have installed all Windows XP
and IE service pack updates and try to keep my McAfee virus checker and
firewall up to date.
I have a number of desktop shortcuts pointing to web pages that up until a
few days ago worked fine with IE. When I booted up the other day, none of the
shortcuts worked. In researching my problem on the Microsoft site I tumbled
to this resource. So as not to waste your time, I have been through most if
not all of the threads dealing with shortcuts and tried every recommended
action before I posted my problem. I have also reinstalled IE from the XP
disk, but the shortcuts still do not work. I have not reinstalled XP Pro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
