I have lost IE deep within the bowels of my computer

[kernel]

I will  and I truly appreciate the time you have given me

[kernel]

Did search-15 items came up but how do I paste this here-I tried and it doesn't work-I AM lost, sorry

[Broni]

If you don't have any screen capture utility installed, get free Gadwin PrintScreen: http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/

[kernel]

I'm really sorry-I downloaded the program you just suggested but have no idea what to do with it now so I can post the results of the search

Yeah, something is wrong here, because my iexplore.exe file in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer has 611KB, yours, 91KB.

Try this:
1.   Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%\inf, and then press Enter.
2.   Find the Ie.inf file that is located in Windows\Inf folder.
3.   Right-click the Ie.inf file, and then click Install.
4.   Restart the computer when the file copy process is complete.

Also, give me another screenshot, but do this:

so I can see whole width of "In Folder" column

[kernel]

It says:
FILES NEEDED
The file 'IEXPLORE.EXE' on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD is needed

Type the path where the file is located and then click ok

Copy files from C:\WINDOWS\in\i386

(I try clicking and nothing happens)

Please, proceed to second thing, I asked you to do for me....screenshot.

[kernel]

Trouble understanding--my son helped me with first screenshot--I'll ask him to help again soon

[Broni]

OK.
I can see correct iexplore.exe sizes here:

611KB, but I can't read a full path, because "In Folder" column in your screenshot is truncated.
Run search again, and write down full path, which starts with "C:\Windows\SoftwareDitribut...."

Then, try this again:

1.   Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%\inf, and then press Enter.
2.   Find the Ie.inf file that is located in Windows\Inf folder.
3.   Right-click the Ie.inf file, and then click Install.
4.   Restart the computer when the file copy process is complete.

When you approach this message:

FILES NEEDED
The file 'IEXPLORE.EXE' on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD is needed

Type the path where the file is located and then click ok

Copy files from C:\WINDOWS\in\i386

replace C:\WINDOWS\in\i386 with the path, you just wrote down.
