Internet Explorer Shortcut??

[John W]

Does anyone know why apparently in a recent update you can no longer add the
internet explorer icon to the desktop through "Customize Desktop"

???

Anyone have a simple registry hack that might work?

Fastest way is to go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer and
right-click on "Iexplore.exe" Drag it out to the desktop and click
"Create shortcut here".

It's not the same though. I'm looking to get the actual system IE icon so I
can right click on it and go to internet options and such.
