Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / February 2008There is no Internet Explorer checkbox to check!
Hi All Control Panel > Display > Desktop > Customise Desktop > Desktop Icons Normally, four check boxes on the applet: My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and Internet Explorer. Checking box(es) places the item(s) on the desktop or not. The Internet Explorer check box (and text "Internet Explorer") is not present on the applet, only the other three. Two machines this way now. There is no defined domain or local policy and NoInternetIcon does not exist in the machines registries. Have been working on this for quite some time now. Please Advise how to force it to draw this as it should. an export of the required keys would be nice. Thank you in advance James Long Network Administrator ComputerPros JamesLong@wowway.com Correct. For some reason, the selection was removed. If anyone knows why, they ain't telling. You can always make a shortcut from the executable. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Hi All > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > ComputerPros > JamesLong@wowway.com Thanks to one and all for the great info!

Installing KB943460 removes the Customize Desktop option in WinXP and Win2K03 machines running IE7. MS hasn't told us why this change was made...yet. The Resolution in either http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555849 or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945402 will place the IE icon back on the desktop but it will NOT bring back the Customize Desktop option.

Hi James, The setting has been removed probably due to anti-trust disputes involving the integration of Internet Explorer into Windows. Here you can find the registry setting to turn on the IE desktop icon: http://www.quero.at/news.php?id=37 (works also on Xp) Best regards, Viktor Krammer Signaturehttp://www.quero.at/ The New Web Experience Thanks to one and all for the great info!
