RE: Opening a saved link - opens a file download dialog box
I know I have had the case where the file association was to Internet Explorer, but IE didnt know what to do with it. If I say Open, it opens it with a new copy of explorer, and still doesn't know what to do with it. IE works on mimetypes, so if the association is set right but the mimetype isnt, that might be your problem.
