Where did mi IE7 desktop icon disappear to and how to get it back?

[Guest AllenM]

Without creating a shortcut or copying the exe from to program folder to my

desktop. I don't want a shortcut nor do I want the IE7 icon with the file

name (iexplore.exe) because I can't get rid od the .exe extension. thanks.

Since you didn't tell us when it disappeared this is the best I can offer.

 

Internet Explorer 7 Desktop icon missing

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555849

 

Hide/Show Internet Explorer Desktop Icon

Restore the missing Internet Explorer icon to the Desktop in Windows XP

(link to a .REG file)

Good luck

DESKTOP ICON MISSING

 

Create and merge this registry file:

 

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

 

----------copy inside only----------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]

"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]

"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\ShellFolder]

"Attributes"=dword:00000000

----------copy inside only----------

 

2. With word-wrap off, Save-as IE_Restore_Desktop_Icon.reg (or any name + .reg)

 

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

 

4. Press F5 or right-click and Refresh the Desktop.
