Hi there,
It looks like during a reboot sequence my copy of ie6 was
corrupted. before the reboot I was able to lock the toolbars into what
ever setup I wanted and reopening ie they would still be in that setup.
now the number of toolbars has dropped and I cannot get the toolbar
setup to lock. I have tried to reinstall ie6 but the install process
says it cannot find the file IEXPLORE.EXE and I do not know where to
look for it. I have scanned the SP2 disk and the original XP
Professional disks that I have but the file does not seem to be on
them. Can anyone tell me where to find the file IEXPLORE.EXE.

Thank you.

Regards,
David

iexplore.exe is normally located in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer, but
I think we really need more information to help you.

Can you open Internet Explorer?
Did you actually install SP2?
Have you checked for spyware?

I checked in Belarc and it says that Service Pack 2 (build 2600) is
installed.
I have run Adaware and it did not find any significant problems.
The IEXPLORE.EXE file I am trying to find is an original one off one of
the Microsoft disks. I want IE to be as if it has just been installed as
part of windows and not had any toolbars or addons attached to it.
Thanks,
David C. Findlay
