Hello XP fans
I ran into a problem with Internet Explorer as far as gmail went. Explorer would
always tell me that I needed a certificate. This sucked big time, because I would
always have to click on goto the website anyway.
I liked my little gmail icon, created by New->Shortcut, and it troubled me that this
was all happening to me.
So a little poking around, right click on icon and then show the properties, and
I found that the shortcut was pointing at https://www.gmail.com/.
Ahhh! The penny dropped. Gmail was allowing this site to be displayed under a secure
web page. This was why the error kept on coming up.
So just as any problem I have had the solution was simple, click on the URL field
and delete the s. So now this field should read:
http://www.gmail.com
Instead of:
https://www.gmail.com
Now I have no worries at all. Hope someone finds this useful. Don't know if it
works for menu items, but give it a go anyway.
Goodbye
