The internet shortcut item you described is near the top of the list, yes?
Scroll down the list and find a second internet shortcut item near the end of the
list (alpabetically arranged) with the URL extension.
But I don't know if what you are doing, or that Win Ann Org article, will do what
you want to do re. Mozilla. You said: "....I'm trying to cause Mozilla to start
up whenever an internet doc/link is invoked."
Have you set Mozilla to be your default browser?
