To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

IE7 Desktop Icon - Double Click causes "Create Shortcut" Instead of Launching. Why?

Asked by SECIRMU in Internet Explorer Web Browser, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: shortcut, click, creates, double, icon

The IE7 icon on the desktop creates a shortcut instead of opening Internet Explorer. The "open home page" and "start without addons" are not listed on the context menu of the icon. But it doesn't stop there. Internet shortcuts launched from outside the browser do not open the browser; they open the print dialog box. additionally, it doesn't have the associated icon. The thing is, it happens with no apparent cause. Domain user policy has been ruled out (logged on with local admin) and it has even happened right after the install and before the final reboot. What could possible have changed in that time? I Googled and posted and someone provided a registry fix for the icon, but it only fixes the icon itself, and even that isn't perfect; it brings back the IE6 icon.

It's a real problem in our organization and has caused us to have to halt the approval of the installation of IE7 in our environment. What is the true cause of this corruption? And how can it be fixed? Really fixed?
