Thanks for the response, but those are instructions I used and did NOT
answer the question.

In om,
Jerry had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

I am running XP Pro with SP2 and having an issue with End Program
IEXPLORER.EXE on reboot or shutdown.

I wanted to try a repair of ie to see if this would correct the
problem.
The first thing I tried was this:
With the xp slipstreamed CD in the cdrom
a.. From the Start menu, select Run.
b.. In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space
between sfc and /scannow)
c.. Select the OK button.
d.. Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
e.. Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.
I got this popup: Files that are required to run properly must be
copied to the DLL cache. Insert your XP Professional Service Pack 2
CD now. Note that CD was already in the cdrom and had booted up fine.
There are 3 buttons, Retry (fails to work), More Info which says
"Possible reasons are 1. You have inserted the wrong CD or 2. CDrom
is not working functioning. AS noted above, neither of these can be
correct.
So now I tried this Method:
a.. From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders.
b.. Select More Advanced Options and place a checkmark beside Search
Hidden Files and Folders option.
c.. Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also
checked.
d.. In the All or Part of the File Name box, type ie.inf
e.. In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the
hard drive that contains the Windows folder.
f.. Click the Search button.
g.. In the search results pane, find the ie.inf file located in
Windows\Inf folder.
h.. Right click the ie.inf file and click Install on the context
menu. i.. Reboot the computer when the file copy process is complete.
Again it needed the xp cd which I had in the CD rom. Here is where
confusion started. I did a search on the xp cd and NO ie.inf file was
found. I did find iexplore.exe and installed it.

Is this what I should have done?


Only thing I saw on reboot was that I was asked if I wanted IE to be
my default browser only browser I use is IE which I answered yes.

BTW this did NOT fix the End Program issue.

It's likely that a repair installation of IE may not work. The bottom-most
entry on this page is still valid for SP2 IIRC.
