Windows Internet shortcuts show up only as html text files
There are many single icon internet shortuts I made in Windows.
Rather than create them again, I want to configure them to work in a Linux desktop environment.
These windows internet shortcuts seem to only show up as html (hypertext markup language) text files in KDE.
3.1.4-4 Redhat KDE is the version I'm using
In KDE They won't LAUNCH to the Web page like they're suppose to
When I click on these icons it gives me the option of what program to open them with
I've tried all three Linux browsers I have installed
(Mozilla, Opera, & Konquerer and its the same thing)
In Windows, with the Windows version of Opera, it DOES launch to the webpage of the URL like IT IS suppose to . . .
Is there any way to tweak this? Is there some kind of 3 suffix extension I can change all at once to make these "KDE Internet shortcuts"?
Rather than waste my time cutting and pasting them 1 at a time.
(btw I have like over 500 of these 1kb files)
3.1.4-4 Redhat KDE is the version I'm using
Interesting issue...
I am a little confused though so let me clarrify a few things. First off, unlike windows, linux has no real need for a file extension (suffix).
Next you say these are web shorcuts? So when they open in 'text-mode" do you see the html for the page they link to? Or do you see something like:
[code:1][DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://www.google.com/
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.google.com/
Modified=40D85AF57D12C401BB[/code:1]
Let me know.
