Creating Internet shortcut on Windows desktop is difficult with Firefox (create
bookmark in Bookmark folder, then drag file to desktop). Once there, when
doubleclicked, Windows gives a stop error looking for IE before Firefox
correctly opens page. This appears to be because Windows does not provide a
"Choose Application" for Internet shortcuts when selecting Properties for shortcut.
