I'm having an issue with IE when I go to my start menu, then use the IE shortcut in the top left corner. Rorschach112 sent me over to this deptartment for help.



When I open IE any other way, it opens fine. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I was having issues with malware on my computer, but I was helped and told everything was clean. (http://www.geekstogo...ce-t186997.html)

I had this a while back and it is the last remnant of malware

Right click and delete the icon in the start menu

Then drag and drop the file from program files\internet explorer on to the start menu

Try that

What has happened is that the shortcut path is broken.
Basicly, Internet Explorer is not where the shortcut is looking for it.
If you have an icon for I.E. on your desktop;

• click on the start button.
• Right click the I.E. icon.
• select remove from this list.
• Click on the I.E. icon on the desktop, and drag it to the start button

Yeah that works, but is it not known what it is trying to do?

It is a leftover from malware that only shows when you have been cleaned up
