Everytime I create a shortcut for IE, when I right click I dont have the internet options show up anymore so I can delete cookies etc. Thanks.

To get the *official* internet explorer icon back (e.g. the one that isn't a shortcut), there's two ways to get it back:
1) Right click on the desktop, go to properties. Select the "Desktop" tab, click "Customize Desktop", and tick the "Internet Explorer" checkbox.
If you can't find the internet explorer checkbox, like on my system, you can put it back manually via the registry:
1) Run RegEdit.exe
2) Navigate to the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
3) Find the value on the right named "{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-
4) Refresh the desktop (hit F5) to see the icon.
Please be careful editing the registry. You can cause irrepairable damage to your computer if you badly mess up editing the registry.
