    Internet Explorer Hidding From Me, Help!

    Not my day.

    I formated my harddrive and reinstalled XP.

    Now Internet Explorer is missing (some of you would say this is a good sign lol)

    I can now only access my internet explorer thru xp update and then change the url to something else and then make a direct shortcut to the page i am browsing. (google for now)

    If I look in program files > explorer i cannot find a file to help me resurrect explorer...

    I went to microsoft.com and downlaoded explorer 6 but it still says that the explorer i have is newer so the other cannot be installed.

    So in short:

    I have explorer installed but cannot find it / make a shortcut for the desktop...

    Advice needed.

    Thanks

                      explorer is what got you in trouble in the first place.
                      download firefox and be done with it.

                          Not showing in Program Files > Internet Explorer > IEXPLORE?

                          If no, do a file search for IEXPLORE and if that fails then uninstall the other files in Internet Explorer and then reinstall.

                                  I have it but i need to run all my sites and stuff thru explorer also to verify everything is okay.

                                  My best solution is to open a beer and turn up for some music LOL!

                                                      Ok, so when you have explorer running (even if you needed to kickstart), click ALT+CTRL+DEL and see the name of the program that's running.

                                                      After that do a search for that exact program and you should find it.
                                                      I'm just a newbie.
