try creating a new shortcut by deleting the shortcut you have on your desktop and making a new one. you cal also check in your internet properties and on the advanced tab see if the option of "showing IE on desktop" is selected. if that doesn't work, you could try a soft install of IE? or even upgrading to IE6? you could look in the ie folder in the program files for an uninstaller for ie...but i would try the shortcut before anything else....
