On my Windows XP SP2 computer, when I double-click on the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop, it just creates a new shortcut to IE, rather than opening up IE. &nbsp;I tried removing the shortcut and re-adding it, but I'm still having the problem.<br />

Any ideas how to fix it?<br />

Thanks,<br />

IE icon just creates new IE shortcuts

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
