If I navigate to the desktop using Windows Explorer in Windows XP, I see an Internet Explorer icon in the list along with all the other icons on the desktop.

For some reason, when looking at the standard desktop without using Windows Explorer, I see all the icons I saw when looking at the desktop using Windows Explorer, except for the Internet Explorer icon.

Why is that and how can I make visible that icon which can be seen from Windows Explorer?

Try this Microsoft Fix. Depending on how the icon is setup, could be why it's not showing up, is it under the all users folder? Is it a shortcut?

Nope, it's not under the all users folder and it's not a shortcut. – oshirowanen Aug 17 '11 at 12:51
Should still be able to use the Microsoft Fix. The IE desktop icon works a little different than most other shortcuts. – Nixphoe Aug 17 '11 at 13:03
