No Internet Explorer on new Start Menu ?

[midiboy]

Hi guys,

maybe someone can help. This used to work fine but somehow recently it does not anymore. Don´t know why.

As you can see on the attached pic, there is no Internet Explorer symbol and entry on the new start menu anymore after unattended installation is finished. Instead there is a new symbol which only leads to the Internet Explorer settings.

Any idea what I might have changed and how I would get the "default" behaviour back there ?

Thanks !

bye,

Alex

Cannot see problem with sif.

Can you right-click on taskbar. Choose properties, Startmenu tab, customize and see if your browser is in Show on menu?

No, it is not. It looks like this ( see pic )

any idea how to activate this again during unattended setup ?

Thanks!

mhh, I activated this and watched the changes using Active Registry Monitor and the only things that came up apart from some strange hex code was this:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1708537768-1482476501-1801674531-1004\Software\Clients\mail]
@="Microsoft Outlook"

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1708537768-1482476501-1801674531-1004\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet]
@="IEXPLORE.EXE"

I guess, I will try this. Strange though that all used to work fine without this earlier.

Are you using any registry tweaks that may cause this effect?

Not on purpose

I will try again now with those entries above included and will post back afterwards :-)

Don´t know why this is suddenly needed but at least it works.
