Well, I corrected the Icons by calling AOL. However, when
I double click ie6setup Icon on the Desktop I continue
receiving the message. I believe it is because 6 SP1 is
included with Windows XP SP1. The response is normal. I
will remove the ie6setup Icon from the Desktop. I had
directions of reinstall or Repair IE and OE in Windows XP
since 3/6/03. I am well aware of not being able to
completely removing IE from the computer. Thanks for the
assistance and corrective action.
