Thanks Matthew and Steve. On a side note, when it was file.url that was "saved as" to the users desktop, it just launched a new window...we are attempting on a few more machines to insure this wasn't some weird behavior on these machines...either way, this was great to see that we weren't in left field. We'll get it ironed out...thanks for the pointers.

We are having all sorts of trouble figuring it out, and wonder if anyone knows of a tutorial somewhere for this or has a quick pointer? The idea is a unique url is turned into a internet icon shortcut on the desktop....so far when you try to save the icon to the desktop, another browser window opens up going to that link. Doh!
