    Hi. First off, IE works fine. My prob is the shortcut from the Start Menu. Whenever I click on IE, it lets me choose which program to run it with (please see screenshot).

    Is there a way to restore or fix it? I want it to be able to just click it again and run IE properly.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your shortcut got messed up. I don't have XP anymore, but, if I remember right... right-click the shortcut, click Properties, and set the Target to the path to iexplore.exe (under Program Files).

    If you can't right-click the shortcut, then right-click the Start menu, do Open or Open All Users, and find the IE shortcut and right-click it there.
