Desktop, right click on Internet Explorer, click Send To, click Desktop (create shortcut). You should now have 2 IE shortcuts, one without icon, one with. Right ? If yes, delete the one without. Drag and drop the new one to the position you want. Last edited by t-4-2; 05-30-2008 at 10:56 AM.. |

Just a guess, but perhaps you can't see it because it's covered by another shortcut. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
