I have two Internet Options icons in my Control Panel

[Guest]

IE6 keeps crashing and the first thing I need to figure out and resolve is
why 2 Internet Option icons are appearing in my conrol panel. Anyone know
how to remove one of these?

XP Pro SP2

THanks

Right click on one of the icons, choose Delete and press
enter. This problem has nothing to do with the crashing.

Control panel icons can not be deleted with a right click. Anyone have a
VALID answer to this question?

You may have been hijacked. First - do both icons have all the same boxes
checked under the "advanced" tab?. If not, what are the differences? If
so, are they both the same still after you click "Restore Defaults"?

Do a find in system32 for *.cpl.
inetcpl.cpl is the standard internet connections applet.

You'll have to experiment with renaming to find the doppelganger unless you
see something rather obvious like an inetcpl[1].cpl or 'copy of inetcpl.cpl'
file.
