NiXC's I.T. Take-Away

Just recently discovered that it is not and will no longer be possible to add the IE icon to the Windows desktop, as of Windows 7! Detailed in KB article KB945402 Microsoft have decided to completely remove the old functionality that puts IE on the desktop as a proper desktop item - as opposed to a simple shortcut.
I guess it saves them from being sued again over IE being a part of Windows. Annoying though, damned EU courts, it's all their fault. Oh well...
