Boy, you guys may not be clairvoyant, but you'll certainly a sarcastic bunch ready 
to jump on somebody else -- jeessh...

Obviously, from the opening line of the 'reply' I posted, I was commenting on an 
inaccurate tip I ran across at:

http://annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-405.

It seems the forum software running Annoyance.org has an annoying habit of turning 
a reply into a new post, confusing the hell out of everybody...  (I have since noticed 
the software is 'in-house' developed. Who gets contacted re: this problem?)

When I was originally reading the thread & seeing people had gotten screwed up by 
following the instructions from the tip posted at:

http://annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-405

I noticed that a couple of people had also gotten jumped on regarding their reply, 
as if their reply was a new post.  So, when offering my correction I was careful 
to make sure it was a reply and not a new post, but it seems the forum has a mind 
of it's own -- damn annoying.

Here's the link to the original post, maybe one of you clever boys can figure out 
how to link them as I can't find an edit option..

What troubles me is that when Googling ["Windows XP" Changing Internet Shortcut], 
a link to the original article is the number one response.
