Default ie 6 has gone missing after update to sp3

I know that IE 6 is still on my computer because it comes up when I click on
Windows Update, BUT
after installing sp3 the shortcut vanished and I cannot find IE when I look
via Explorer.
Under Program Files Internet Explorer is listed with a few subfolders, but
none of those contain the file to execute the program--they are mostly files
for connecting to the internet.

Where is the program hidden, or do I have to go through a connection wizard to
get IE back where it belongs?

Since it fires up when I click on Windows Update, I suspect the exe file must
be around somewhere. Didn't see it under Windows (in Explorer) either.

Thanks for any ideas.



Do a search for iexplore.exe. It should be located here,

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

When you find it, right click on the file and select Send to - Desktop (create
shortcut). You can now drag or copy the shortcut onto your Start menu.

Good luck
