When I log on to Yahoo, it says it cannot find it, but then it does.

When I open Yahoo for the first time of the day, I get a message that Windows cannot find it. Then it immediately logs on. This is annoying. Why do I get that message and then it overrides the message to log on? My Yahoo is on a shortcut on my desktop right next to my Firefox shortcut.
