Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / March 2008IE Desktop Icon Missing On SP3 Intall
Following clean install of slipstreamed WinXP Pro SP3, no option to show Internet Explorer icon on desktop under Display Properies>Desktop>Customize Desktop. Is this by design and, if so, is there a "fix" to get IE icon on desktop so when right-click can view IE Properties? If just create an IE desktop shortcut, can't view properties. Tx for any info. > Following clean install of slipstreamed WinXP Pro SP3, no option to show > Internet Explorer [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Tx for any info. Take a look at this article. Internet Explorer 7 Desktop icon missing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555849 If that doesn't help, you might want to post your question to the microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup or the SP3 forum. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2010&SiteID=17 Good luck Nepatsfan >> Following clean install of slipstreamed WinXP Pro SP3, no option to show >> Internet Explorer [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Nepatsfan Excellent - Followed instructions in your 1st link.

Yeah, I just noticed that and posted a follow up response. Glad to hear you were able to work around that problem and restore the IE icon.

Following up on my earlier response, it looks like the author of that Microsoft article left out a few details. Try this instead, open the Registry Editor, Start -> Run regedit.exe. Navigate to the following location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel In the right hand pane, right click and select New -> Dword Value. Rename the new value {871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} with a data value 0. Close the registry editor and hit the F5 key to refresh the desktop. Good luck Nepatsfan |
