.webloc!!

I don't understand why the heck the extension

.webloc has to be added to a web link dragged

from Safari to the dektop (or anywhere else).

Is there a way to get rid of it preserving the functionality

of the bookmark??

As soon a s I remove it, the icon on the doc disappears

and the bookmark doesn''t work anymore, even If I control click

and choose "Open with...Safari"

sorry to hear that pompo. i just tried it and it works fine for me, even if i remove the extension. in fact it doesn't matter what name it has, it still works. i wouldn't know how to fix it for you. :(

Works for me as well, no matter the name or if the extension is left on or not.

You could turn off file extension viewing in the Finder prefs.
