When I open the desktop IE icon shortcuts are created. All other IE .exe
work fine and if I make a shortcut of them they it work as well. I have
tried removing the icon and placing it back on the desktop through the
desktop settings but the same thing happens.

This is not that big of a deal but it really bothers me that it does not work.

You need to change the File association to Open instead of Copy, to that you
need to open the Windows Explorer then click Tools >> Folder Options >> File
Type and there select HTML and click on Advanced Button, make sure under
Actions:
Open is the default Actions.
