Answer 1

Hi Lynn

Can you please explain this in more detail, where exactly are you seeing these shortcuts being created, what type of files are those shortcuts to?

If possible, please provide a screenshot of what you are seeing so we may understand this a little better...

Answer 2

Thanks, this is what I meant - an internet shortcut is created for every file that I save. Some are repeated ... 

Thank you. 

Answer 3

Hi Lynn

Those seem to be Internet cache files, which is normal with any browser, usually you cont see those, but you seem to have the Internet cache folder being synced to OneDrive, that is why you are seeing those in that window . ..
