After I join a Windows XP SP2 (later SP3) machine to my domain, the IE 7 desktop icon disappears. I don't have any custom policies set. The check box is missing from Customize Desktop. Any ideas?

I think I sort of answered my own question, but I raised another one.

After I set the Start Menu to "Classic", the IE icon returned. But why? Why can't I have both a standard XP Start Menu and the IE icon on the desktop at the same time?

right click on the desktop - properties -
desktop tab - customize desktop button - and
put a check mark for IE

With recent updates, the OPTION to put a check next to IE is no longer there.

The post above yours has the proper solution.
