Blairgowrie Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 For some strange reason, when I try to create a shortcut to my desktop for a site I have opened using Firefox, it places a Internet Explorer icon on my desktop. I have Firefox set as my default browser. I wouldn't mind too much but Explorer opens up this silly little window about half the size of my screen.

BBloke Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 It sounds like there is some confusion as to what should happen with internet shortcut links. Have you tried making IE the default browser and then re-make Firefox the default one? To make IE(6) default: Click Tools and then Internet Options. Select Programs check Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser. click OK Close and restart IE with Firefox closed! Check you shortcut. Close IE and start Firefox. Make Firefox Default: Click Tools and then Options Select Main and make sure the bottom check box is checked and click the check now button too. I tested it here and it does work but dont rely on any shortcuts from changing automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
