    ' File Not Found ' Malfunction
    Windows XP/ Default Browser Firefox/ Also have Internet Explorer.
    I frequently access internet direct via a Launch Program (such as 'Launchy')without opening a browser.
    I now find that each time I access internet direct via the Launcher with neither browser open and also if I access via the Launcher with IE open I get a ' File not Found ' message although the file then opens normally.
    However if I access via the Launcher but with Firefox open I do not get a 'File not found' message.
    I have verified that the cause is not in the launcher by reinstalling an even installing an alternative Launcher but this annoying problem remains.
