Default Favorites (Again)

I looked but didn't see anything specific to my problem. I like to put
shortcuts to web sites in my quick launch area, but Vista B2 won't open them.
There isn't even an "open" option on the right click menu. Any suggestions or
fixes from previous builds?

Beta2 build 5384 dual booting Vista on dedicated hard drive, with XP Home.

This appears to be a new bug.

As a temporary workaround:

- Browse to the website in IE
- Drag the website's icon located next to its address in the location bar
down to the quick launch toolbar

For some reason, this works
