| | Internet explorer icon gone In Win Vista 64-bit, the desktop Internet Explorer icon has disappeared. I would like it back, and not as a shortcut, but the way it was. I have browsed for a solution, and many suggest this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel 4. In the right hand pane, double-click {871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} key. 5. Enter dword value as 0 to enable the Internet Explorer icon on the Desktop. It does NOT work in my system Help, please. Thank you. |

| | RE: Internet explorer icon gone I found the solution: The regkey (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel) did NOT work for me, because I use classic start menu. Instead use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\classicstartmenu and alter the reg-key mentioned to 0 (from 1).... Voila!
