    Create a new internet shortcut on desktop, sends me to the wrong webpage.
    I have Vista Home. When I right click on the desktop and select new > shortcut > enter web address "www.google.com" > leave the default name as "New Internet Shortcut" > Finish > double click link it sends me to a different web page altogether. When I change "New Internet Shortcut" to "Google" it works. How can I fix this so that even when the desktop internet shortcut is named "New Internet Shortcut" that it'll send me to google.com?

    Thanks.
