Lost IE Icon - second user profile

[Guest John]

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?

If you have SP2 do this Click Start - Run - Type desk.cpl - press enter -

click DESKTOP TAB-click customize desktop - Put check marks in desktop icons

for the icons you need then click apply and press OK.

See the Resolution in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945402/

 

NB: While the Resolution will place an IE icon on the desktop, it will NOT

restore the option for such an icon at Display | Desktop | Customize desktop

| Desktop icons.
