Solve : My Laptop Shortcuts Link To Printer??

Answer» http://Hello All I run XP w/SP2 on a Dell Inspiron B130 Laptop. I have used this laptop well over a year with only basic problems.

Select the browser you are using to view web pages...Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc., etc.

Click OK...

Post your results please...
