Execution of links in the new LINKS folder

Post by jcmn »

Hello

It seems there is an issue with the execution of links in this folder

I have a link with the following target

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://intraw02.ine.pt/WD180AWP/WD180Aw ... /GVGRH_INT

But upon execution it only opens Internet Explorer with my home page, not the address in the target line.

If I execute the link where it originally is it opens the page correctly.

Hmm, I wasn't aware that links could even do that. How do you create such a link?

You can enter program arguments in a shortcut's target inputbox.

Slightly OT, but is there a way to force use of the existing open iexplorer (i.e., in a new tab) rather than opening a new instance when running a Link like, "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/index.php ? Or maybe there's an option in IE I missed? Note: I do have the IE option in Tools | Tabs to open external links in a new tab not a new instance but is of no use in this case.
