i just found something unusual

try this

1.Create a shortcut pointing to an executable file on your system
2.Name the shortcut with an URL like www.vbforums.com
3.Open ie and type "www.vbforums.com"(w/o the quotes)

Now Instead of loading the website,it launches the application pointed to in step 1.

Is this a potential security threat or just a hidden Windows trick???
