Need help stopping the "View Download" tab in my taskbar

Post by Brainpup »

Hey Gang, Happy Holidays, I need a hand here, recently everytime I would click on a shortcut that sits inside a desktop folder it puts a tab in my taskbar that flashes but doesn't open up the webpage ? ( example: Desktop folder name is "CD/DVD Covers" inside it I have pictures of CD/DVD's that I use to wrap CD/DVD cases with, I also have a couple of internet shortcuts to websites that I download covers from ( example : CDCovers.cc ) These shortcuts use to work fine, I'm not sure what happened, I've tried to roll back with SysRestore but no luck, I've tried Folder Options but no luck either. Oh yeah and when I click the "View Download" tab in my taskbar it show me a blank page. The "VD" folder shows up and does the same thing when I try and install a new program too. I have to go back to the page and go down to the bottom and click the "Run" or "Save" tab so that the program will install. The "VD" tab will stay in my taskbar forever until I got to Task Manger and end it there. It never did this last week ...and its a pain in the butt.

I went and unistalled IE 9 and reinstalled it but it didn't help. Did something change in the way IE9 handles Folders & downloads ?? How can I change it back so that when I click a shortcut it takes me to the page like its suppose to instead of having to go backwards everytime ?
I'd sure appreciate someone a little smarter than me, giving me a clue how to fix this problem because its beatin me up..... :crash:
