After naming the file, open the notepad file and again paste.

The normal behavior should be that the hyperlink should be in whole that http://www.microsoft.com but when you paste it in the notepad the clipboard contents now change to httpwww.microsoft...

1. Paste hyperlink in file name field.
2. paste content in the newly created file.
