The IE icon only appeared in the Beta and Release Candidate builds.
To add the IE icon to your desktop, add the following reg key:
_____________________________________________________
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
_____________________________________________________
You can also just double click the attached reg file. You should view it
first to see that it is not malicious.
