Just recently, URL shortcuts on my desktop will open in Word, rather
than opening the link in IE.

I looked at default programs & .url is set to open with Internet
Browser. I've also tried the KB article, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505,
but no help.

If I go to the shortcut through favorites, it opens ok & have deleted
shortcuts & sent new ones to desktop, but they still behave the
same...

Any other suggestions?
