No icon on desktop. No icon on Quick Launch, search on Start Button Search for INTERNET EXPLORER gets no hits.

Does not appear as an item in METRO. Metro search does not find it.

I can find iexplore.exe in c:\program files\internet explorer with Windows Explorer ... and it runs from there.

I can find iexplore.exe in c:\program files (x86)\internet explorer with Windows Explorer ... and it runs from there.

Otherwise ... cannot find it anywhere else. Do not care to merely create shortcut on desktop.

Help appreciated in advance.

Try to rebuild icon cache Icon Cache - Rebuild - Windows 7 Help Forums

Also try from Command Prompt (Admin) copy and paste
sfc /scannow

Thank you ... very much. Icon rebuild did not appear to fix anything. SFC though returned (and fixed) errors. The log file is attached (pretty large).

I also ran a WINFIX/IEFIX utility from IOBIT .. and due to SFC and/or IOBIT .. the problem seems to be repaired.

Thank you ... immensely.
