Re user review 13308775:
I find that URL links created under Win7 open straight away, while those created under Win10 annoy with a warning. When I compared the same link created under Win7 and Win10, I found that links created under Win7 are 3 bytes longer. This is because the link from Win7 contains a CRLF after the first and second line, while the link from Win10 contains only a LF after the first line and the second line is not terminated. When I added at least the LF after the second line in the link from Win10, the link started loading the web-page directly, just like the link from Win7.
Two days later:
Additionally, I found out that the reason why the URL file starts to work directly after adding one character (LF) is not because the URL file content has changed, but because the file has been SAVED AGAIN. The reason is that the altered URL file is already coming from my computer and not from the Internet. You can even just copy the URL file and the result is the same.
On various discussion forums I have learned that it is not the content of the file that is critical, but the fact that the file came from the Internet, which is not written into the file, but recorded in the external attributes of the file in the NFTS disk system. I understand that the fact that the URL files originating from Win7 work directly on my computer is due to the fact that these files were COPIED to my new Win10 (from the old HDD).
I note that on my old computer with Win7 I did not experience any such problem with URL files. There, even those URL files just saved from the Internet always worked without any warning message. Now, on a new computer that runs Win10 the message appears. Interestingly, though, it only happens with URL files and not with any other files downloaded from the Internet (e.g. with EXE files, which are installers for various programs).
