Windows File Explorer Won't Execute URL Shortcuts
In a Win10 Pro 21H2 desktop system, this screenshot contrasts two simultaneous views of the same folder, named New Recipes. The top view is in Q-Dir, a Windows File Explorer alternative. The bottom view is in Windows File Explorer.
One visible difference is that the icons are displayed normally in Q-Dir, whereas in File Explorer they are washed out. A parallel invisible difference is that double-clicking on an icon works as expected in Q-Dir - that is, the desired webpage opens in the Internet browser - whereas double-clicking on a icon malfunctions in File Explorer: what opens is not the browser, but rather a print dialog.
