I used Tileiconifier to customize the start menu on my laptop, and everything works beautifully. However, when I tried to set up my wife's laptop, Tileiconifier worked for most shortcuts, but will not work for URI shortcuts for webpages where Microsoft Edge is the default browser. I get a Windows Script Host error when I attempt to click on the start menu icon as follows: Script: C:\ProgramData\Tileiconify\Facebook\Facebook.vbs Line: 16 Char: 1 Error: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation. Code: 80070483 Source: (null) I compared the vbs files between my own laptop and my wife's, and both are identical, so I don't think this is an issue with Tileiconifier, but some difference in the settings between our laptops. However, I have no clue as to where to start looking. Any ideas? BTW, I love the program! The start menu looks so much better with custom tiles! Awesome work!

You need to change the app wich opens .url file extensions. To do so, you can simply create a new file on desktop, best is a text file, then change it's extension from .txt to .url (or find an .url file in your pc). Then right-click on it and select properties. There click on "change" next to "open with" and... if you are running win10, select windows browser, if you're on win7 select your default browser, IE, Chrome, Opera, etc. This is not an app issue, it's an OS missconfiguration. Hope this helps.

Awesome tip, I had the same exact issue on a similar app and this saved me about 2hrs of debugging everything.
