Right click desktop select properties, click the "desktop" tab then choose customize desktop, then tick the box for internet explorer :)

Click start find the Internet explorer icon in there, right click it select "send to" and select "Desktop (shortcut)".

Then find it at the desktop and rename it to delete the "shortcut to..." text.

go to Control Panel > Display > desktop > Customize desktop, uncheck Internet explorer if its checked, apply or OK then go back and recheck it.
