Guest Colin Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Hi all, I've just upgraded 2 PC's from XP Home to XP Pro. Now, when the users double click IE (6) on their desktop, IE doesn't launch, but a shortcut to IE is created on the desktop. This happens as many times as the users double click the IE icon. Any ideas ? Many thanks. Regards Colin.

You need to change the File association to Open instead of Copy, to that you need to open the Windows Explorer then click Tools >> Folder Options >> File Type and there select HTML and click on Advanced Button, make sure under Actions: Open is the default Actions.
