I've lost my IE icon and can't find iexplorer.exe to replace it. To open IE,
I have to go to start and open Windows update.

Ken,

Right-click Desktop, Properties
From the Desktop tab, choose Customize Desktop
Put a checkmark near Internet Explorer, click OK, OK.

-or-

Create a shortcut for iexplore.exe file (located at %Programfiles%\Internet
Explorer)

-or-

Type IE4UINIT.EXE in Start/Run dialog. This creates Internet Explorer
shortcuts to the Quick Launch and in the Start Menu Programs folder.
