Moodle in English -> General help -> "Link to File" Weirdness

by Art Lader -
Hmmm... I do not think that this is a Moodle problem, but maybe someone can help me with this:

When I create a "Link to a file or a web site" resource to a remote server (google.com, moodle.org, etc.), all is well.

But when I create a similar resource by linking to a local file (web page, image, pdf, etc.), my browser wants to download the file to my hard drive.

This is happening in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera.

To make things a little stranger, it happens on my 1.6 production site, but doe NOT happen on my 1.7 test site. (They are on different servers, by the way.)

I do have a lot of third-party modules on the 1.6 site. Maybe I need to try disabling some of those and see what happens.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Regards,
Art
