Hi,
I have lost the icon "Internet Options" in my control panel.
Can't figure out why.
How do I recover it/have it appear there again?
Tx, S
Click start/run, type:
control inetcpl.cpl
Then click ok. Does Internet Options appear or not (error message)? If not,
either the file is damaged or missing and a new one needs to be expanded
from the I386 folder on the CD or hard drive (on preinstalled systems). If
it does, then perhaps it was hidden with TweakUI or a group policy (check
with the network administrator if this is your employer's computer).

Does Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | Click OK open nternet
Properties?
inetcpl.cpl should be in
C:\WINDOWS\system32
and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
TweakUI and, if XP Pro, Group Policy can hide Control Panel icons.
TweakUI | Control Panel

He gave you one option. Run TweakUI, look on the control panel section,
and enable the internet control panel option.
