IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my computer is open

or when I use a faverite, it works.

IE version? Full WinXP version? Is the machine fully patched at Windows

Update? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What

anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall

(if any)?

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.

Is another browser installed? Is IE configured as the default Browser in

Set Program Access and Defaults?

 

Control Panel | Display | Desktop | Customize desktop | Desktop icons: Is IE

checked here?

Has this user experienced other oddities in the past ? ...that required a

re-Image? If you're in charge of +5K seats, how is it that this user has

the clout to "demand" a fix?

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. Is there anything I need to check in

the registry?

If not, delete all other desktop shortcuts, enabled this option, and test.

 

If so, is this desktop icon the one you're using?

Re: IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my co

 

ok ... this is what I have done, I created a .bat file with the following

information, it re-registered .dll's and it corrected the problem. now it

works like a charm.

the info below was copied and saved as a .bat on the desktop and executed,

it re-registered all dll's below and IE works now. 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
