IE7 View Source brings up the Desktop Folder...

In IE7, when I do "View Source" it brings up the "Desktop Shortcut"

Tried everything here but no joy:

Any ideas?

BTW: I recently downgraded to IE7 (from IE8), but I think it was working
after that...

Machine in Windows 2008 - 64 bit

You're running Windows Server 2008 64-bit and downgraded to IE7?

"no joy" doesn't tell us what you did with it and saw as a result.

From your (vague) symptom description I would suspect you have
a variation of the Notepad.lnk problem.

Yes I was forced to downgrade to IE7 because I am using Visual Studio Team
Edition for tester and there is a bug in using it with IE8 (per MS Support).

Sorry for the confusion... just tied to right click on the browser and did
View Source. What I saw is the Windows Explorer with Desktop!
