 IE tries to download... IE!? WTF?

I just tried to launch a new IE window, and the weirdest thing happened.. it tried to download itself from my hard drive. Anyone else ever have this happen?

You must have dragged and dropped the shortcut into IE. Drag and drop any file into IE and it will treat it just as if you were getting it from a website.

O_o.. Hmm.. lol, maybe that's what I did, but I certainly didn't see it (I use the quicklaunch bar, must have quickly clicked and held down too long while moving my mouse up or something ..).
