So um . . . During the course of cleaning some crap off my harddrive, I somehow managed to delete the Internet Explorer icons from both the desktop and the Start menu. I can't find a way to restore them (although I have obviously managed to make the program run, the way I found is tedious and inefficient). Can someone suggest a solution to my problem? And I will provide a swift kick to the nuts/ovaries of the next person to suggest "download Firefox lol." I do not wish to download Firefox, and even if I did, I would still desire the restoration of my desktop to its former state of being.

Edit, 12:42 AM: Haha, victory is mine! Thanks to the excellent advice of Casey and Dan, I have once more restored Internet Explorer to my desktop. Thanks!

In other news, I have actually managed to have something of a social life for the last week or so. Andrea and I watched "Monk," and then Saturday night we went out with Rachel. Then Sunday I went for coffee with Sierra and Catherine in the afternoon, followed by serious boozing that night. Well, serious boozing on other parts. I only had a Cosmo and a few sips of beer--a good thing, as it turned out. Tuesday, I watched Red with my friend Ed. A very peculiar movie, but I liked it. Finally, today I went to Spokane with my brother and two of his friends. (That was a bad idea, but beside the point.) I spent WAY too much at the Bon clearance center, but I have tons of pants, a pretty skirt, and a very nice winter coat. Now, I revert back to my antisocial ways.

If you haven't deleted it off your computer, try searching your HD for iexplorer.exe. When it pops up in your search window. right-click and create a shortcut. It may ask you if you want to place the shortcut on the desktop. Click OK.

The internet explorer application should be located in "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" as IExplore(.exe). Alt+Drag to create shortcuts. Alternatively, you can do WindowsKey+R to bring up the "Run" dialogue, and then type "iexplore" and execute. That's what I do since I don't like IE very much and don't want it taking up deskspace.
