Ever installed Internet Explorer 8 on a Windows XP machine and if you didn't ONLY install that program before you rebooted and you kept using Internet Explorer you hit the start menu and the icon is missing?! Pain in the rear if you don't know how to find the answer. Luckily this has happened to me for the last time. Below is the solution.
Try this:
Open the registry editor, navigate you way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\ StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE\DefaultI con
It should look something like C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe,-7
All you have to do is to change the value to
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe,-32528
Log-off or restart and Viola! This will change the existing IE icon to the current IE 8 icon (with the yellow swish). If you like the "classic" IE icon, change the value to 0.
