IE~6 and OE~6 gone walkabout
« on: November 05, 2005, 08:42:04 AM »
I'm running winxp pro and yesterday I suddenly found the icons for IE6 and OE6 were gone from my Desktop. Also the entries in Hide/remove programs are missing? I think both programs are still there however but I can't access them. If I click on a link in an email I get IE6 opened OK and similarly OE6 still seems to be my default mail program? If I try to reinstall it says these program are already installed? I'm confused!

Are you the only person with access to this computer?

Absolutely no one else involved. I don't know what I did to cause the problem!

Well that solves one variable. Can you create a new icon on the desktop for each? Ricght click there and select create shortcut and then navigate to the appropriate file.
