Eliminate 'Several URLs found in clipboard' dialogue/warning when copying a page of text

When copying any text on an internet page that contains a URl and using Windows 8, I always received the unwanted message, "Several URLs found in clipboard.  Do you want to download them?"

I want to save a step by not seeing this dialogue but cannot find a way to turn it off. Is there such a way, registry, some other option, and if so, please talk me through it.

I can't reproduce your problem.. what steps do you do that create this problem?  Are you using the office clipboard and not the windows clipboard?

I'm simply using my mouse to cut and paste from any internet page. Once the text having an embedded URL link is outlined then selecting COPY, I get the warning. This  is on Windows 8 Pro desktop.

The program causing the problem was Internet Download Manager. I removed it from startup and solved the problem with your great help!

Thanks for solving it.
