Open Internet Explorer, Click on Tools, in the Toolbar, Choose Internet
Options from the drop down menu. Click on the Advanced tab, then scroll down
until, under Browser, you see  Show Internet Explorer on the Desktop. That
should do it for you. Hope that helps.

> I lost my Internet Explorer icon on my desktop. Can anyone tell me how
that happened? I replaced it with a shortcut but it is not the same as the
original, for instance, when you right click it it doesn't show the internet
properties like it used to just general and shortcut. Thanks for the help!
Using windows98 and I.E.5.
