[QUOTE="terryann, post: 1804579, member: 79836"] The "shortcuts" are web links that I put on my desktop by dragging the favicon to my desktop. Yes, the links work perfectly and take me to the correct website. Every single item on my desktop can be opened by Get Info, except all these web links, and None of the web links work. Creating new ones does not help....when I do that, the same thing happens...the whole screen just "blinks" and Get Info does not open. Command-I does not work, it results in the same blink and then nothing. I found out Get Info was not working because I was trying to change the icons and could not open any of them. I would say there are at least 20 different links on my desktop that I have created in the past to quickly take me to web addresses. Get Info works on none of them. I have been creating these web links for years and creating icons for them and using Get Info to paste the new icon to it. Now suddenly I cannot do it...but yes, the links work if you double-click on them. It's just "Get Info" that does not open. [/QUOTE]
