IE icon missing, desktop and display properties
I just reloaded WinXPpro sp2, ran all critical updates using "administrator"
and added 'my docs, my comp, IE, network' icons to desktop via "Control Panel Display Desktop Customise Desktop Desktop Icons". Now here's the problem: I added the 3 userID's that will be using this Pc, while setting them up I did the same as "administrator" turning on desktop icons BUT the "Internet Explorer" check box and label are missing from the "Control Panel Display Desktop Customise Desktop Desktop Icons" area. It's now missing using the 'adminstrator' logon also. And here's the question: How do I get it back so that I can turn it "on / off" using "Control Panel Display Desktop Customise Desktop Desktop Icons"? I used the registry hack; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\HideDe sktopIcons\ NewStartPanel. Once there, locate {871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} in the list on the right. Right click on it and select Modify. Change the value equal to 0. Reboot your computer. to get the "IE" icon back onto my desktop but that doesn't give me back the ability to use the "Display Properties" to make on/off changes. Any ideas on how it vanished and how do I get it back? Brad |

Ask MS! ;-) I think a BUG
I can easily replicate the problem by installing this KB hot fix (English version) "pakiyimo" wrote: On 19 nov, 16:31, Michel Heuvelmans wrote: Add-remove-program (select show updates) Uninstall KB943460 This one is causing the problem.

Michel,
Thanks for the information. I was about to blame it on some business software that I also installed. Instead of uninstalling the Patch you can get the IE (original) icon on the desktop by using a registry hack I mentioned in my original post. Although I'd like to have the check box and wording returned to the "desktop customization" area. Brad "Michel Heuvelmans" wrote in message ...

I had spoken confirmation from MS
WORDS ARE/ Assessment No solution for it because this is a known issue Problem will be solved with SP3 or hopefully sooner Asked customer to uninstall the update and wait until SP3 comes out or a new update for this known issue Plan Next action customer: n/a Next action Microsoft: n/a Next contact: n/a So maybe before comes a hot fix or not… Regards, Michel "pakiyimo" wrote: You can also use the Tweak UI powertoy to put/remove Internet Explorer shortcut in the desktop. |

Is it just me or my imagination, but my WinXP tells me that "this update
cannot be removed". Is there a way of removing it or are we stuck with it until MS 'maybe' decides to deal with it? Brad "axslinger" wrote in message ...

Brian,
Were you able to remove it through the std. 'add n remove' in control panel? My machine says it can't be removed and I don't have a "remove" button to click on. Brad "axslinger" wrote in message ...
