testerh Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I am running XP Pro SP3, nLited with the current latest version.As part of of a malware repair, I had to install WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Pro-BootDisk-ENU.exe (to run ComboFix).The repair was successful, but the IE icon has appeared on my desktop.HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer - NoInternetIcon=1 doesn't make it disappear.Any help greatly appreciated.
johnhc Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 testerh, is there some reason you don't want to delete it? Enjoy, John.
testerh Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 John,Are you telling me it's that simple?And I was looking for registry hacks...
johnhc Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 testerh, I certainly think so. Whenever a shortcut shows up on my DT after an install, and I don't want it, I just quickly stick it into the Recycle Bin - gone! Enjoy, John.
testerh Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 John, thanks for this simple solution.It didn't show up in the Recycle Bin though. It being a special icon (not a regular shortcut) I didn't spend much time wondering. Good riddance.
