FIX IT (please)
The proper term in Windows is "Internet Shortcut". I use these for sites that I might want to visit again over a short period of time and then never again. Thus, I don't want to added them to my bookmarks. Do the following check: 1. Open My Computer. 2. On the menu bar, select [Tools > Folder Options]. 3. On the Folder Options window, select the File Types tab. 4. Near the top of the list of "Registered file types", you should see an icon with "(None)" for the extension and "Internet Shortcut" for the file type. Select that entry and then the Advanced button. 5. On the Edit File Type window, select Open under Action and then select the Edit button. 6. On the "Editing action for type: Internet Shortcut" window, carefully examine the path to SeaMonkey in the "Application used to perform action" area. Does the path point correctly to where you installed SeaMonkey? If there are any blanks in any of the folder names, the entire path -- including the seamonkey.exe -- needs to be enclosed in quotes. The quotes do not include the "%1" at the end, which is separate from the path. If any of this is awry, correct the path; be sure to include seamonkey.exe at the end. 7. Conclude by closing each window by selecting its OK button. NOTE: If there is no entry for "Internet Shortcut" in step #4 above, you have a Windows problem. Let me know. -- David E.
