My icon disappeared both off the start page as well as my taskbar and I can't

access OE from IE but I can't figure out where it's coming from. Help!

I agree with PA Bear's question. SP3 did not remove the MSOE shortcuts when
I installed it. But I installed it *after* I had installed Windows Live
Mail. In fact, it was still called, "Windows Live Mail desktop" when I first
installed it; and installing WLMd removed all MSOE shortcuts. I had to add
them back. I think WLMd even "hid" the MSOE executables. It was a long time
ago when I first installed it.
