Re: Re-creating the actual IE icon/shortcut on desktop.

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I understand that that is available but I'd like the actual icon that
appears without the little arrow in the corner. I know that TweakUI can
turn that off but I'm looking for an option to restore the icon entirely.

If you're having problems with it, drag a shortcut to
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
to the desktop and change its icon to the one in the above file, via the
shortcut properties

Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new
solutions.


The reason I decided to write that, was mainly because "Nocturnal"

I know you can use TweakUI and also by right clicking the desktop,
properties, desktop tab, customize desktop. But, sometimes when I'm
fixing a computer, no matter if I try that or TweakUI it won't come back.
I've tried that registry hack but all it does is create an IE "E" icon on
the desktop. When I try to click on it nothing happens and when I try to
right click to see the properties I get an error message. Can anyhone
help me get the IE shortcut-actual icon back onto the desktop?
