The desktop link to internet explorer (where you can set
options etc.) disappeared on me, and I tried going to
program files and internet explorer to make a new link or
whatever, and the .exe file wasn't there.

I'm running windows XP...
why is this happening and how can I restore IE?
Thanks
 
Did you look in Control Panel>Internet options>advanced tab> see if "show
internet explorer on desktop" is un-checked? If un-checked, re-check
it>apply>Ok out. If it is checked, un-check it>apply>OK out. Re-access the
IE options again, and re-check that box.

Otherwise if none of the above applies, if you're using Tweak UI, make sure
that you have not "hidden"IE from being displayed on the desktop.

HTH -
 
Also John, I had given instructions for W98se; not sure if all things are
the same for XP. Have you tried Find Files and Folders - iexplore.exe and
looked to see what is found, if anything?
