I could always make an internet shortcut by dragging the icon

On one PC now I can't do that. I can drag it, but it does not
make a
shortcut on the desktop. It just shows the SM icon with no
shortcut
arrow. That means I can't change it's icon. Any ideas?
No solution found so far. I was able to take a shortcut that I
had
made
on my desktop awhile ago, and change the target to a website I
wanted a
new shortcut for. That worked, but I still can't create a new
one by
dragging to the desktop.
Is SM set as your default browser?
Yes it is.
Most likely it's a registry issue.
Can you create (drag and drop) any desktop shortcuts that work,
like from a Word Doc, Excel, graphics, etc?
Do IE11 drag & drop desktop shortcuts open with IE11?
Do the url shortcuts look correct with no added spaces, etc?
I can make shortcuts with other applications. It looks like it's
only SM
that has the problem. URL shortcuts look normal, except for SM.
When I
drag a site from SM, under Properties the file is called a "URL
File",
at 0 bytes. The other normal shortcuts I have are called "Shortcut
Files
(.lnk)."
Possible file or registry corruption.
Back up the system first, clone, image, etc.
If it were me I would run a surface scan of the hdd if a spinner.
Next I would run SFC /SCANNOW and then try SM.
If no good then I would reinstall SM over itself.
If still no good then I would save all SM personal data and
do an uninstall and reinstall.
Why not after copy of the SM profile when SM is not running then an
uninstall and reinstall.? ...Directly without all the preceding steps
you explained.
If it were me I would try to determine the condition of the HDD and
possible Windows (not SM) DLL corruption first.
Yes, I have perfectly understood but why not doing my single steps
before ?...
