I am having a problem creating a desktop shortcut for I.E.

When the shortcut is created on the desktop, and I click
on it, I get an error message saying:

"Windows can not access the specified device, path or
file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to
access them."

I can run I.E. from the Start Menu, ad if I create a
shortcut and leave it in the Start Menu, it works OK.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Try this: Right-click on a blank area of your desktop and select Properties.
Choose the Desktop tab and click on the Customize Desktop button. In the
Desktop Icons section of the properties sheet you can choose to have an
Internet Explorer icon on your desktop.
