I just upgraded to BM 6.2.14 on my Windows XP Pro 64bit SP2.

Everything went just fine except for one thing:
Every time I click on a Webpage link from any of the projects, Boinc Manager (or Windows, one of them) sends an error pop-up message saying:

Windows cannot find '<web address here>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.


The webpage/browser (Firefox 3.0.1) does open the requested page like if everything was ok, but I still get that annoying pop-up message every time I click on any of the web shortcuts.
