Display Properties does not have option to add/remove Internet Explorer icon?

Question

When I go to customize desktop in the display properties the only available desktop icons are: "My Documents," "My Computer," and "My Network Places." Where is Internet Explorer? (I can't add the icon through the tools option in IE either).

I have Windows XP and have IE 6.0 (I don't really use it as I like Mozilla but it's important once in awhile...)

My computer's been redone in the past few days. On the previous reimage the IE option was there.

Answer 1

do a search for internet exploror and once the icon pops up copy and paste it onto your desktop.

Answer 2

just junk it sheesh
