Guest John Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 As the administrator I have an Internet Explorer icon on my screen and in the Quick Launch bar. However, my wife has her own log on profile and she doesn't have an icon. I have had to put a couple of shortcuts on her desktop to enable her to open Explorer. I have read about fixes in the registry - about setting a particular value to "0" and have checked that this is the case - but still no icon on my wife's desktop. any other suggestions?
