use another browser mate.
Seriously IE is so outdated.
MyIE2 (now called MAXTHON) or Netcaptor is what I would suggest

right-click on the desktop, go Properties > Deskptop > Customize Desktop > General

then just check the Interner Explorer box.

What makes a "crappy shortcut"? If it launches IE then what's the issue?

Try here (http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBC/tip1200/rh1208.htm) (note: this is for Active Desktop, the link for NON Active Desktop is at the top of the article).

Alternatively, TweakUI under Desktop has it.

Probably Xteq does as well, but I didn't bother to look it up.

Cheers.

Did you try un-checking, log off, log back on, and then re-checking?

If it isn't that, go make sure it hasn't been removed via Add/Remove Windows Components.
