Sorry, you have an Internet shortcut. Do this...
1. Make a shortcut. To anything. Not an "Internet shortcut" (URL), a plain
old shortcut.
2. Right click the shortcut
3. Click "Properties"
4. Browse to IE and copy the path
5. Paste the path into the shortcut's Target window. Quotes at start and
end. Now, in the same place, leave one blank space then copy the URL into
it, quotes at start and end of URL too. You'll wind up with something like
this...
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
"http://www2.verizon.net/micro/speedtest/java/"
...all on one line. In fact, if your IE is in the same place as mine, you
can just copy and paste the above.
That's all you need do. Clicking the shortcut will start IE and take you to
the site you want.
