Hi Harry,

Internet Explorer cannot be removed in Windows XP. It looks like the shortcut is alone missing.

Click Start, Run and type the following:

%Programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

Internet Explorer will launch now. You can create a shortcut on the Desktop. Or, running the command IE4UINIT.EXE from RUN box places shortcut for Internet Explorer in the Quick Launch and in the Start Menu.

Good Luck!

I had spyware in my computer which I believe messed with 
my IE browsers.  I was able to remove the spyware and 
along the way tried to reinstall IE.  I can't find my IE 
now, its not in the add/change - tried to reinstall but 
unable to since it says it already installed.  I have XP 
home. Harry
