Guest Harold K Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Re: IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my co Re: IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my co Thank you for responding, IE ver 6 (the medical facility here does not use 7 as of yet becuse of some of the apps that are used here. Other than that all patches are installed. A/V is McAfee Enterprise 8.5 and up-to-date. Cisco F/W's in place with over 5k desktops and laptops from ATL to CA (Kaiser Permanente). usually we just re-image and keep truck'n but this user of this desktop is demanding a fix ... so I got to fix it. I have created a new Icon as kelly suggested and get the same response. D_Clik it and it just sits. but from any open window, I can just type where I want to go, or clik a faverite and will put the page. Harold "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: > IE version? Full WinXP version?

Guest Harold K Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Re: IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my co Re: IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my co Yes another browser is installed. I had to leave BP (Business Partner) with a workaround until I correct his IE Issue so I installed Fire Fox until I have a solution. Yes before I installed fire fox, IE was defualt / I did a reset of the browser / Created new icon / found target and tried to open from original folder instead of Short Cut.

I did have two errors (oleaut32.dll) why-i don't know but it continued until completion. @echo off c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 urlmon.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 mshtml.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 actxprxy.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 oleaut32.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 shell32.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 shdocvw.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 shdocvw.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 actxprxy.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 oleaut32.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 mshtml.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 browseui.dll c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32 shell32.dll "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: > [Crossposted to IE General] > > Repost: > > Control Panel | Display | Desktop | Customize desktop | Desktop icons: Is > > IE > > checked here? > > If not, delete all other desktop shortcuts, enabled this option, and test. > > If so, is this desktop icon the one you're using? > > Repost: > >> Has this user experienced other oddities in the past ? ...that required > >> a > >> re-Image? > -- > ~PA Bear > > > Harold K wrote: > > Yes another browser is installed.
