I have a user who when he double clicks the IE icon on
his desktop it opens windows explorer. I havent been able
to resolve this problem. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Try this. Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools | Internet Options... | Advanced | Browsing | uncheck Show Internet Explorer on the desktop | Apply | OK. Close IE. If the icon is still on the desktop right-click it and choose delete. Reboot. It should still be gone. Now do the same thing as above but check the place you previously unchecked. Reboot. Any change?
 
Hi John,

Have your user open Control Panel > Internet Options and on the General tab check to
the Address for the Home page. The problem can be recreated by entering the
following for a home page: file:///C:/
