try this. right click the i.e. icon that shows now. hit properties, hit change icon. in the run line at the bottom there, type in shell32.dll the system icons are stored there. slect the one you want, hit okay, hit enter, presto,your done

You don't have a shortcut to it anywhere? not in your start menu? or in your quick launch? if so just drag it to your desktop.
If not, navigate to Program Files\Internet Explorer, and redirect IE.exe to the desktop.
I NEED HELP!!! (nov.2,2003) PROBLEM SAME AS JEFF's
Can someone help me about this IE desktop icon prob?
I played with some xp themes. when i had it installed, it changed not only the wallpaper but also my icons including the IE icon on the desktop. i reloaded the windows xp default theme. all the other icons were set back to their default appearance except the destop IE icon. the IE icons on the start menu are ok but the icon on the desktop is 'a folder with an icon-representing-a-file which you see when your computer does not have the appropraite program to run or oprn it'
the functions are good. nothings altered except the IE icon. this bothers me and the rest of the people at home who shares my pc.
CAN SOMEONE EMAIL ME ABOUT THIS? I NEED THE HELP BADLY. noisygraveyard@hotmail.com
