I upgraded from IE5.5 SP2 to IE6 SP1 in the spring of 2003.  At that
time, I asked this question but none of the suggestions worked.  I
thought I'd try again now because I recently discovered a similar
problem that seems related somehow.

When I upgraded to IE6 SP1, a strange thing started happening.  When I
right-click on the IE icon on my desktop, choose Properties and then
choose Settings | View Files on the General tab, a Search Results window
opens instead of my Temporary Internet Files folder.  (In IE itself,
when I choose Tools | Internet Options | General | Settings | View
Files, the Temporary Internet Files folder is correctly displayed.)

I have since discovered that, when I left-click on a Desktop or Quick
Launch shortcut for a program, choose Properties, and then click on Find
Target on the Properties box, a Search Results window opens instead of
the folder in which the program executed by the shortcut resides.

Back in May 2003, the following did not fix the IE6 problem:
- IE6 Repair
- Deleting IE's cache using deltree in DOS
- scanreg /opt /fix

Is there anyone who has seen this and/or knows how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Nevans

edited text to say "right-click on a Desktop or Quick Launch shortcut"
(I have my mouse set so I can use it with my left hand -- No, I'm not
left-handed but find it's easier to work with it that way -- so for me,
a "right click" is actually a "left click"!)
