    URL file not opening correctly


    Could someone tell me how to get a .url file to open correctly with a shortcut to chrome.exe instead of just chrome.exe? When I ask for the URL to open (app chosen is shortcut to chrome) I get this in the pic attached.
    URL file not opening correctly [​IMG]


    I need it to open from the shortcut because I added things like this to the shortcut file: --disk-cache-dir="Z:\Temporary Internet Files\Chrome" etc

    Unless there is some way to add --disk-cache-dir="R:\Temporary Internet Files\Chrome" to the program itself then I would need for the URL file to open from the shortcut. Any ideas?

    :)

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile URL file not opening correctly :)
