There is no advanced in the wallpaper tab. Just a 'customize desktop'. There is no box to check and uncheck IE icon.
I put the icon in the recycle bin and now I lost it. how do I get it back?

Otiss:
I followed your directions but I do not have an Internet Explorer box to check. I have the other three.
That is strange. Do you have any other suggestions?

There are a couple of ways you can do this...but the easiest way is to...
Right click the desktop
go to the the tab that has the wallpaper
click advance
check/uncheck the box that has the IE icon.
..if the IE shortcut isnt deleted using the step above you can right click it and then delete...and put it back in the steps described above.
Let me know if this works... :smileyhappy:
