Greetings all--

I have recently (approximately the last week or so) developed an
odd problem in Win95 (version 4.00.950a) running IE 4.01 SP-1
with several of the patches.  Regardless of the method I employ
to create a shortcut from scratch--desktop or within a folder--I
get as far as <right click or 'file'>-->new-->shortcut, and am
left with a new shortcut.  None of the intervening steps of
browsing for the command line or naming the shortcut come up.  I
can use the shortcut one time by choosing the application to use
to "open it", but this is hardly the point of the whole
exercise.Does anyone have any idea what may have caused this?

My system is an EFA mb with a P233 MMX, 64MB EDO (2 72-pin
SIMMS), a Seagate 3.2 GB hard disk, with a Mitsumi 4x CD-ROM and
an Iomega DittoMax tape backup.  The only change recently was the
addition of a LITEON keyboard with touchpad.  Not impossible, but
it's hard to imagine how this could have caused my present
woes....

Any and all ideas welcome.
