Internet explorer disappeared???

[Guest]

I did a little clean-up and then disk defrag last night. I am pretty sure i
did not delete internet explorer but now all of the explorer icons and links
are gone. notheing on the desktop, start menu, or programs area of my
computer. I know it still works because i have a shortcut to a favorite
website on my desktop and it will open and I can then navigate from that
window but I have no place to access just IE and my homepage from ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Right click the desktop, choose properties. On the desktop tab, click on
customize desktop, you can re-add the IE icon here.

Which tool did you use to clean up with? Note: Defrag isn't needed with XP
if using NTFS. In the meantime, see if this helps:

After sticking her head out from her XP firewall, Kelly had this to say:

Kelly, are you suggesting that NTFS doesn't fragment or do you have some
other utility in mind for defragging a NTFS drive?
