Desktop Favorites is one of my all time favourite widgets. But it stores it’s links as .lnk files which caused windows 7 to complain every time you open one.
To fix go here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315933 to enable My Computer Security Zone
Then go to Control Panel->Network and Internet->Internet Options
You’ll see My Computer under the Security Tab now.
Go to Custom level for the My Computer zone and choose “Launching application and unsafe files (not secure)” set to Enable.
Yes, this makes your system less secure, so don’t do it.
