Hi, I have more or less the same problem:
If I click on an URL shortcut I get an Internet Explorer script error.
If I click on an FTP shortcut (which has worked flawlessly for months) the
Print dialog box opens.
I have downloaded and applied the registry fixes mentioned here, but they
did not work.
Any help will be appreciated.
