Can anyone please tell me how I go about getting the IE Internet Explorer icon put back on the Desktop. I have tried the obvious ways susch as going to the IE Folder in Program Files and copying the Icon to the Users Desktop folder. However this does not work. I want to be able to create this icon on the desktop so that I can right click and go to internet properties from here. The OS is WIN XP with IE6. Any help would be reatly appreciated.

I have tried that however It only creates a shortcut here. I want to put the actual IE Icon here so I can right-click and go to internet properties from there. thanks for the reply anyway.

Good day,
You can try this right click on the desktop|go to properties(this should take you to display properties|select the desktop tab/button at top beside Themes|Select the customize desktop button(this should bring you to desktop items) ensure that a tick is in the box internet explorer. I hope this helps.

Open Display properties (rightclick Desktop properties)
go to Desktop tab
There you see the desktop icons you can add/remove.

Disable Desktop Cleanup will be good.
