Here's an unusual problem would appreciate help with. Right after I
uninstalled a program called Avant, all of the icon links on my desktop that
address IE URLs automatically open the printer selection screen. Even after
retyping the correct URLs in these shortcuts, I still get the error. No
matter what I do I can't link any site on the internet with a shortcut on my
desktop. Funny part is that other icons that have shortcuts, like to
applications, IE, and Outlook, work fine. Anyone with an idea to correct
this puzzler? Thanks.

Hi,
