SharePoint HomePage is downloading the url instead of opening it up.

In the web-part it prompts to download the URL. If you click it from the full document library page it opens the link in the browser.

Robin Thakur yes! Any updates on if there are ways to change this behavior?

ShervinS I am running into the same problem. Trying to insert a link to an item (URL) and the location of the item is within a links list (library). When I click the link on the webpage after inserting and saving, it opens the Item Properties page for the item and makes me click on the URL shown there. I don't want to do two steps! I am guessing you haven't found a solution??
