Vista - IE7 Desktop Icon Won't Show

08-08-2008

I have tried many, many times to get the native Internet Explorer 7
icon to show on desktop without success and wonder if is a Vista
problem. Never had problem when did this with XP Pro.

Have manually entered correct new DWORD 32 bit Value # in registry,
used registry fix and, using WinBubbles, ticked off "Show IE7 Desktop Icon".
Have refreshed desktop by keyboard and clicking on desktop Refresh.
System has been rebooted many times over past week due to
installing other programs and still no IE7 icon (don't want IE shortcut).

Am 3 week newbie to Vista and getting this supposedly one little simple
issue to work is proving beyond frustrating. Have googled this many
times and done all that suggested. Any further ideas would be much
appreciated.

Tx for prompt replies.

Had previously tried the notepad .reg suggestion which
didn't work. Just downloaded the IE script - ran, refreshed
desktop & rebooted. Unfortunately, that didn't work either.

Besides this and some other annoying Vista Ultimate issues
still hoping to resolve, won't give up on Vista just yet.

Will keep

HideDesktopIcons
-NewStartPanel > DWORD (32-bit) Value
{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}

Even tried adding to ClassicStartMenu in Registry
and changing desktop to Classic View.

Uninstalled WinBubble but still a no go.

Know does work and doing correctly as had it after
first installed Vista - just can't get the icon after doing
clean install week ago. Maybe Refresh & F5 key not working!

Will leave for now & try again later. Tx again for all replies.

That vbs script looked like it was issing a quotation mark. Possibly why it didn't work.

Copy and paste this into notepad. name it iefix.reg then run it and reboot should have IE icon on desktop. Was origianlly made for XP, but works perfectly for Vista.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

There is nothing wrong with that script. Do you know anything about
vbScripts?? It does not use quotation marks like a reg file.

kruger Vista Business 26 posts	Re: IE7 Desktop Icon Won't Show That vbs script looked like it was issing a quotation mark. Possibly why it didn't work. Copy and paste this into notepad. name it iefix.reg then run it and reboot should have IE icon on desktop. Was origianlly made for XP, but works perfectly for Vista. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

PaulM n/a posts	Re: IE7 Desktop Icon Won't Show There is nothing wrong with that script. Do you know anything about vbScripts?? It does not use quotation marks like a reg file. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.paulsxp.com www.paulsxp.com/forum www.supportspace.com/home/home.s2?aiu=paulm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "kruger" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:8535298107bb4307197fc69c3cec8074@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
