Whenever I accidently click on an internet shortcut - without being "online", my machine "runs away" and literally loads dozens of pages of:"Cannot find server" or "page cannot be displayed". My only escape path is to open Task Manager and hit "End Task" numerous times - 'till it stops. But then, I have a blank Task Manager screen which I can only close by hitting the ESC button. Anybody know why this happens or if there's a fix?
