Can not launch any jnlp application from http://javaweb/..... in IE.
Try to launch any jnlp application from http://javaweb/... (try this for example: http://javaweb.sfbay/~ngthomas/notepad/notepad.jnlp)
You will get:
Java Web Start - Invalid Argument Error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\SBDOUVBA\notepad[1].jnlp (The system cannot find the file specified)

  The file it is requesting does not exist in IE's temporary cache directory.
