Hi Dave,
Open the registry editor from Task Manager (applications tab/click 'new
task') and check the contents of the shell string in this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
It should be just 'explorer.exe'. I suspect that you will find it is
appended with additional items. If so, alter it, close and reboot the
machine.

Of coures one of my own rules to to never mess with regedit, but ... :-)
Under that KEY I've got tons of stuff and none of it is iexplorer.exe. I
really don't understand of of this but what you are suggesting seems
inconsistent with what I am seeing.
Check again. With the key he mentioned highlighted, look in the right
portion of the window and find "shell". It's there.
