Internet Explorer icon doesn't work but I can access internet....Help!
So, I was having some problems with WIndows Media Player and I looked through some guides via the net and I did some things and the problem was solved. However, now, the Internet Explorer icon doesn't open the Internet! Instead, it just opens the Internet-options window. However, I can still reach the internet when I go to MSN messenger and check my mail. Can anyone help me with this??? It doesn't start in the Start-Menu either!

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe

If there is no iexplore.exe file in the Internet Explorer folder see if System File Checker can replace it. Go to Start|Run, enter sfc /scannow and click OK. (There is a space after sfc.) You may be prompted to insert your Windows XP CD.

Try this. Go to Start|Control Panel|Add or Remove Programs|Add/Remove Windows components. See if Internet Explorer is unchecked on the window that opens. If so, check it and OK out. If IE is "uninstalled" iexplore.exe becomes a hidden file and if you don't have Windows Explorer set to display hidden files and folders you would not see it in the Internet Explorer folder.
