testerh Posted April 11, 2009 Share 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 Share Posted April 11, 2009 testerh, is there some reason you don't want to delete it? Enjoy, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testerh Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 John,Are you telling me it's that simple?And I was looking for registry hacks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted April 12, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testerh Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
