Hi,
On one machine out of a hundred, after installing IE7 it won't run, when I
click on the IE icon it simply creates a shortcut on the desktop.

Any ideas?

I have this issue too, but only if I create a package using IEAK. Happens
every time. Desktop icon is missing the OPEN HOME PAGE and START WITHOUT
ADD-INS options

This is happening to me too. Can you tell me if you have figured it out, and
what you did to fix it?

From TaurArian:

Issue Description:
----------

Double click IE icon on the Desktop. It won't open IE page but creates a
shortcut to IE.

Cause:

LegacyDisable subkey under the following two keys:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\Shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Computer_User_Name\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D�}\shell\OpenHome
