Tx for reply. Did refresh desktop. Went thru procedure
few more times and still a no-go & mystery to me. Will try
again later.

Recall had no problem when had to do same thing with XP SP3 or
when IE7 first came out.

If you use the Classic start menu, then you need to make the changes under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu

rather than

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel

That's perhaps the issue.
 
Tx to all for replies! Believe it or not, have tried all suggestions
without success. Downloaded WinBubble and even that didn't
work for IE icon, but at least some of other features did. Give
up on IE icon for now.

1 week old newbie to Vista and just trying to learn the ins/outs
of this OS. Discovering some of my fav software programs not
compatible and things that worked so flawlessly with XP Pro
and should work with Vista aren't - frustrating!

On bright side, do like most of new Vista features.

You telling me that the script I sent you to did not work?? Because it works
on the 2 Vista computer I have here.
