Hi,

Reinstall it correctly. Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, set
it to "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating
system files [recommended]". Also uncheck "Hide extensions for known file
types".

Then, open Windows Explorer from Start/All Programs and go to the
C:\Windows\Inf folder. Locate the ie.inf file, right-click it and choose
install.

You may need to either insert your WinXP CD or know where your I386 folder
is located on the hard drive. You may also need to know where the
\ServicePackFiles folder is (usually under the Windows directory).
