I started my computer, which I just loaded Win8 Pro on, & it wiped out my Internet Explorer !0.

Now I can't get onto the Internet to download IE.

I think this has to do with the EU rule about Web Browsers.

What do I do now?

Any Help will be appreciated!

IE on Win8 Wipeout

Lou & Behold a window popped up & gave me a choice of what BROWSER to install!

Luckily when I choose IE it loaded & had all my settings, task bar etc. back.

It just shows what happens when STUPID governments get involved in our private life!

Very Frustrated!!

As I was fuming, a pop up announced that I could choose a browser to download!

I downloaded IE & all my settings were there!

Weird!!

You can also fix this by going into the default programs applet in the control panel and setting IE to the default - this causes the icons to pop back up where they would have been otherwise.
