| | Opening a web page via desktop shortcut also opens a blank web pag When I create a desktop shortcut to a web site and double click it, I.E. opens the web site but it also opens a blank web page. When I switch to the blank web page there is no URL in the address window and the tab indicates connecting... I would appreciate it if anyone could offer a solution. P.S. - If I open I.E. then enter a URL in the address window the blank web page does not appear. |

| | Re: Opening a web page via desktop shortcut also opens a blank web Thank you for replying. The I.E. version is 7.0 which I have been using for quite a while. After posting I read a previous post dated 11/21 dealing with the same problem. Although I.E. Add-Ons were not my problem, I decided to checked my Startup list and isolated my problem to a Start-Up program (Auto Sizer) which I had recently upgraded. I removed it from Startup and I.E. works fine.
