Hello
After cleaning my wife's computer with CCLEANER and TuneUp utilities, she notices that 2 desktop shortcuts are not working anymore, even after reinstalling them.
The following message appears: "[b]Unable to open this internet shortcut. The "https" protocol has no registered program[/b]"
What should I do or correct...
Thank you

    Has the icon of your shortcuts changed?
    Can you try using the "Open with..." option from the context menu (right-click) and open it with your usual browser or another one?

      Hello
      The problem was resolved on the same day by another forum "Internet Tips", below is the solution:
      • Set the association of the HTTPS protocol with Internet Explorer (or another browser of your choice):

      'Start' --> 'Default Programs' --> 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program' --> select the HTTPS protocol (at the very bottom of the list) --> 'Change program'

      If necessary, shake the tree: associate the HTML protocol with another browser to re-associate it with Internet Explorer.

      or
      • Reassign your preferred browser as the default browser:

      Windows 7 or Vista: 'Start' --> 'Default Programs' --> 'Set your default programs' --> select 'Internet Explorer' or another browser of your choice --> 'Choose default settings for this program' --> check all boxes --> 'Save'

      Thank you for your help and response...

      That's exactly what I had in mind.
      Hence the question about the icon, because if the HTTPS protocol stops working, for example, the icon might be the default one when no icon is defined, and therefore no program is defined.

    OK, I'm having trouble understanding your response from a probable computer scientist or enthusiast. As of today, everything is working, the icon (which triggered the problem) and the others...
    Have a good day...
