How come when I click on a desktop shortcut to a webpage I get an error saying “Application not found”?
by Ron on March 2, 2010Q: I make a shortcut on IE8 and/or Firefox for any web page. When I click on the desktop icon I get an error message that says “Application not found”. Why is this?

How are you creating the shortcut? It sounds like your computer doesn’t know how to handle the shortcuts that you create on your desktop.
