IE6 on Win2k
Allready tried this method
There are no virus/malaware the url's are corrupt (8 of them)
ie When viewed in IE the url instead of being a short name, comprises some
200 charactors (30 words) and as such I beleive exceeds the win/IE limit
I'd copy and paste if I could, but I cannot even do that with them.
