How do I get Internet Explorer to display an icon on the

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I'm not sure that's possible...the little shortcut arrow
will always be there. =P

You used to be able to do it with TweakUI, at least with Win98. I assume the WinXP
version does it too. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

TweakUI did that for earlier versions of Windows. I don't use it for
XP, but I imagine that the feature still exists.

'dev' was correct, I believe the rest are confusing this with a system-wide
setting for shortcuts, rather than just the IE desktop item.

You can get rid of the arrows with a registry edit, or more easily and more safely by using the free TweakUI, downloadable as part of Microsoft PowerToys at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
However, my recommendation is that you do *not* do this. The arrows serve an important function--providing quick visual identification of a shortcut. If you remove the arrows, you run the substantial risk that sooner or later you will delete something you wanted to keep, thinking that you were just deleting a shortcut to it.
