Lost my IE desktop icon.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get my Internet Explorer icon back onto my desktop......Please.
I am on XP.

 

Hi Roders. Right click on your desktop. Click on customise Desktop. Click General Tab, then tick the Internet Explorer square option. This should bring it back.

 

Thanks Strawman,nearly there,but there is no ie square option:cnfs:

 

Now you've got me there, Roders. The IE square is a part of the XP settings for the general tab. By rights it should be there. I know that it's possible to lose icons from the desktop, but your problem seems to indicate something else altogether. I can only suggest that you take a look at the following web address.

Or try
Start>programmes>internet explorer>(right click)create short cut>cut short cut>paste shortcut on desktop.

Or better still get Fire Fox Click here
