Lost Icon

[SueBe]

Ok I'm new to XP.
Some place today I lost the Desktop Icon
for IE.
I know there is a place to add it 'cause I
added the Icon for My Computer.
Unfortunately at my advanced age I forget
things.<S>
Where do I go to add an Icon to the Desktop?

Right click on the desktop and select Properties. Go to the Desktop tab
and click the Customize Desktop button. There you will see check boxes
that you can check to show icons such as My Computer, Internet Explorer,
etc.

Did that! I have checked the IE icon and Recycle Bin and after clicking on
apply I get the my computer, my documents, recycle bin but NO Big E.
Any other ideas as to where it went.
