I have noticed that when I make a shortcut for IE (7) and drag it
to desktop, it does not work. They used to work. What could be
the problem (XP Pro).

Thanks

THANKS, that did fix that problem. However, now I notice that an shortcut
icon on the desktop for defragmentation also doesn't work. That must be a
different fix. I went to the page you recommended but can't find an
appropriate
fix. Do you know of one??

I think a registry cleaner is to fault for these problems.

What happens when you double click it ? What is the target of shortcut (Open
Properties to see) ?
 
%systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc
