MORE INFORMATION

The filename extension .url is associated with the file type Internet Shortcut. When you name a Favorite or QuickLink in IEAK, the wizard configures Active Setup to create a file with that name plus a .url extension. When you type .url at the end of the name, you are including the extension the wizard uses anyway; therefore, the wizard removes it from the field
