| 1345491 | 2013-06-12 06:54:00 | I now find that all my Desktop Shortcuts to web sites are broken using Google Chrome. I have deleted them but when I create I get the same problem For example I want to go to the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/ so I created a desktop shortcut However, when I click the shortcut, Google Chrome (Version 27.0.1453.110 m) shows: [{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}] Prop3=19,11 [InternetShortcut] IDList= URL=https://play.google.com/ Running Windows 8 Pro on a Desktop PC. |

| 1345492 | 2013-06-12 07:15:00 | Sounds as if .lnk files (shortcuts) have managed to associate themselves with Google Chrome. There is a way of fixing this through the Registry but I'm not inclined to comment further without testing. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1345493 | 2013-06-13 07:35:00 | Solved it! But I don't know why. In Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Associations I changed .url from 'Chrome' to 'Internet Browser' and it now works. The URL still opens in Chrome and I see the Chrome icon. |
