print option is default in .url right-click menu

When you right-click an internet shortcut (.URL file), the “Print” command is the default (shown in bold letters) action. As a result, double-clicking on internet shortcuts will open the Print dialog.

And, the Web document tab may be missing in the property sheet for Internet Shortcut (.URL) files.
