For internet shortcuts: Did you set a default browser since removing Firefox? To set Internet Explorer for this, use Internet Options Programs and check the box that allows IE to check that it's the default browser. Close any open IE windows and relaunch the program. Answer yes to the prompt that appears. The change should be immediate but if necessary, restart the system to get the internet shortcuts back up to change. For general shortcuts that have the .LNK extension, use the file association fix for .LNK files found he http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User
