Hi David, Window's Internet shortcuts have the invisible ending ".URL" much in the same way as links have the invisible ending ".lnk". Both are not shown with "Show Extensions" and neither with the properties, but if you open a DOS box and type "dir" in the right directory, they will show up. I don't know which other software will give you access to these endings, though.
