I have two IE icons on my Quick Launch
They have different property pages.
I don't mean different values - the pages are different format.

Any reason to keep both?


Thanks

No. Not unless you want both.

That what I don't know.
Is there any reason to have both - Their properties pages are quite very
different but they both open IE. What was the purpose of including two? Do
they have different functions?

I noticed that one is a shortcut to a special folder, and one is a shortcut
to the executable for IE.

They both open IE. One has a "Start in" path and one doesn't

If anyone knows what MS is doing here I appreciate a little enlightenment.

Thanks

The Quick Launch is just that, a place to put Icons for a "Quick Launch"
access. If you don't want them in "QL" delete them. You may have on
thats a copy of the "IE" desktop shortcut and the Properties allow the
direct access to "Internet Options" , and the other is just a "web page"
Shortcut. But the choice as to whether they stay or go, is yours.

You can make shortcuts to anyplace the Control Panel has applets for and
many others in windows, and use them in the run box or the address bar run
box described below here, and you can get about 2000 icons from the windows
folders as well, download folders and zip files, (a different thing) but
one convenient way to use XP is to right click task bar>toolbars, and what
you get if you slide the seam by Address in the task bar is an address bar
that nearly always doubles as a run box. It saves time and key strokes. If
you like icons you can add favicon.ico to many urls and either pull the
little favicon off, change name and give it a house in a common folder and
you'll be able to use it in the change icon dialogue box or sometimes you
have tosuspenders snap the little "e" at the upper left hand corner of the
browser window (2-3 times before dragging to desktop) to get it to come to
the desktop when the favicon won't budge,

Best,

Chad Harris

Any web page your are viewing becomes part of the system namespace. In previous versions it would be in the Explorer tree but users don't understand so it was hidden.
