Hi,

Click start, type regedit and hit <enter> to open the registry editor.
Expand the branches and click on:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\Shell\Open\Command

Double click the (default) string value at right and replace the contents
with:

rundll32.exe ieframe.dll,OpenURL %l

(just copy/paste it from here, leave no spaces after the 1)

Click 'ok' and close the editor. Retry the shortcuts.
