Flock Browser Misappropriating Internet Explorer links

I have installed flock browser, I also use internet explorer and firefox.
when I visit a site say www.google.com in internet explorer there is the "e" iexplorer icon up there in the address bar.
if I put my mouse on that icon and drag it to the desktop it USED to give me a an internet explorer shortcut which when clicked would open up internet explorer and display the webpage therein.
Now whenever I drag the internet explorer icon from the address bar to the desktop, it immediately stores as a FLOCK shortcut .url !!!!!!!
I Have tried UNassociating flock with this file type but when I right-click the shortcut, the dropdown menu (for these types of "flocking" shortcuts) does not include an "open with" option (only an 'open' 'delete' etc options)
I have tried going in to other parts of my PC but I can't find any way to stop Flock from altering the files in this way.
if I go into the command prompt and directly change their extion to .html or .lnk, they don't open a webpage at all in internet explorer

How do I stop Flock Browser from automatically doing this to my internet explorer links?
The internet explorer links that I save in internet explorer's Favourites menu or on the bar in the browser are unaffected so at least THEY'RE ok.
But I still want to be able to drag website address explorer icon onto the desktop too.
