Clicking on shortcut doesn't take me there ???

When I click on some of my shortcuts, XP doesn't take
me to the program, rather takes me to the Search page.
Any ideas how to reset it back to where a click will get
me where I want to go ?

Thanks Mark, it worked !
Sorry, but as you see there is not button to click on.
Send again with the button and I'll vote for you.

You would have seen the 'ratings' feature if you used the 'Communities'
interface, and then defined your original post as a 'question' . In your
case that does not apply. I should modify my sig for that, but .... : /
I'm glad to hear you fixed it. Your welcome

I fixed the problem of always getting the search page.
But still don't have a button to click on for you.
