IE Only Creates a Shortcut When You Double-Click

Well, I almost goofed up again…. well, actually I did, but I was just trying to fix it. I worked on a PC and attempted to install Internet Explorer 7, but the dang thing screwed up the PC. What else is new about Microsoft!?!?

The icon on the desktop resembled that of Internet Explorer 6, and when I would try to open the browser, it would just create a new shortcut on the desktop. What?!?!?

Well, after a few tries, this is what I did, and in these steps:

1. Right-click on IE icon and select to delete. Just click ‘OK’ at the next message to confirm.

2. From the Control Panel, open the ‘Add & Remove Programs’ list and from the list on the left of the window select ‘Add/Remove Windows Components’. At the Windows Components Wizard, uncheck Internet Explorer, and hit ‘Next’. This will go through the process of removing IE.

3. Run the Dial-a-fix tool, which you can find a link to here ->

4. Restart the PC. (So you may want to add this page to your favorites to come back to easily ; ) )

5. Download Internet Explorer 7 here, then proceed with install.

That is exactly what I did to resolve this issue. If you are having problems with installing the updates that you have downloaded for Windows XP, you can find a quick solution here - >

That’s it.
