Switched to FireFox

I just recently switched to firefox, I want to delete the IE icon off of my desktop, but I may want to put it back later. It say's to restore it go to Control Panel > Display. But I can't see anywhere to restore it.. ?

you can just copy and paste the icon to the desktop...

Go to the start menu, find IE, right click, select copy, right click the desktop, select paste.

Or, you could just be smart and not have desktop icons at all and access everything through a quick launch menu. That way you can have a pretty wallpaper without things blocking it, be organised and look cool all at the same time.

Yeah, thats what I do. It also clears space in your Virtual Memory too, cause Windows wont have to render so many desktop icons. (Which believe it or not, slows down Windows alot)

but if you really want it on your desktop, just do what I said in my first post.

if you didnt delete it out of your recycling box you should just be able to get it out again.

...Kill me now, doesn't anyone here know how to use a copy of Windows?

Anyway, ignoring all the above nonsense, the Internet Explorer desktop icon is toggled through Control Panel>Display Properties>Desktop Tab>Customize Desktop. The section "Desktop icons" allows you to choose whether to place My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and Internet Explorer on the desktop.
