IE Icon Missing In Desktop Tab in Display Properties

Post by MrNxDmX » Sun Jan 13, 2008 5:51 pm

IE Icon Missing In Desktop Tab in Display Properties

I have encountered this issue in my update pack, also my users did. I was thinking about an ie7 bug or sth about ie7. Not sure about Ryans pack.

After some search on google, i found this.
Talking about KB943460 (shell32.dll update, version 5.1.2600.3243). Kb943460 causes this error in Desktop Tab in Display Properties.

I couldnt find a registry tweak to re-show ie icon in desktop tab. But found out that this tweaks controls the IE icon on desktop.(Also mentioned on link i gave)

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000
inf version

Code: Select all

HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel","{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}",0x10001,00,00,00,00
Edit: Found this too.
Edit2: This link explains the registry tweak above: KB555849.
Also this topic explains the issue in detail.

Does it effect the latest beta of Ryan's update pack since this hotfix is replaced with KB944781 ?

BTW, this hotfix - KB943460, causes language salad on systems with LIP applied.

Change the version of shell32.dll.mui to 6.0.2900.3241, reboot and everthing will be just fine ;)

Hi,

I came up with the following registry work-around which adds an option to enable and disable the Internet Explorer Desktop Icon via:

Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View Tab.

The first part of the .REG file below adds an option "Show Internet Explorer icon on the desktop" as a Tick option:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\InternetExplorerOnDesktop]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\HideDesktopIcons\\NewStartPanel"
"Text"="Show Internet Explorer icon on the Desktop"
"Type"="checkbox"
"ValueName"="{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001
The second part of the .REG file just adds the Icon back to the Desktop straight-away.

Kind Regards

Simon

Doesn''t work for me. I see the new check box in the folder options, but that's about all.. I do have the update that removed the IE entry from the desktop settings.

.

Did you try ticking and unticking the option to see what happens?

Generally a refresh of the desktop might make the icon show up quicker.

However I find that the IE icon shows up almost immediately when you press "Apply".

Yep, we suppose so. I'll try an integration with only my ie7 addon, in order to see if ie7 is the cause. But AFAIK, latest shell32.dll updates causes this...

Ticked and unticked many times with apply. Logged off an on again.
Did a shutdown restart.

Did anyone else with KB943460 installed get this to work?

OK, I see what the problem is. There are two possible registry entries that can be changed depending on your setup - ClassicStartMenu or NewStartPanel. Ticking the Show IE box in the folder options only changes NewStartPanel from 1 to 0. I am using Windows classic and that value needs to be changed from 1 to 0 instead for IE to appear on the desktop. The second part of the original reg entries posted by PsiMoon314 should have been set to zero to make IE appear on the desktop. Both reg entries cover Classic and Standard DTs, but the folder option check box reg entries are only valid for the Standard DT.

We have discussed time ago about missing IE icon and I think it's not a real bug but a MS decision.
Both newer shell32.dll and XP SP3 don't show the IE icon option in Desktop Properties.
So, as MS decided there will be no more IE icon in desktop, why be worried?
Don't ask for a different configuration of Onepiece's XP AIO Update Pack: use one of the existing vanilla XP UpdatePack with your preferred addons instead

Who's worried. :D MS decided to remove the check box and PsiMoon314 came up with a replacement solution. :)

Probably you already know that but - using latest beta of Ryan's Update Pack and NR_IE7en_Addon_1.0.7_alt, IE checkbox is still missing.

Offtopic: colornokia I once used you help on a similar matter - http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... ght=#51199. Your knowlege helped a lot of our fellow bulgarians - .http://www.kaldata.com/forums/index.php ... t&p=745276

Is there anyway I can add both IE options to this tick option, or do I need two separate entries depending on the type of desktop?

Kind Regards

My guess would be that you need to define another check box since regpath can only be one or the other. I can't really say for sure though.

Hi,

I have worked on a alternative registry hack which might work:

Code: Select all

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Internet Explorer]
"Bitmap"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
  00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,53,00,\
  48,00,45,00,4c,00,4c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,34,00,00,\
  00
"Type"="group"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Internet Explorer\InternetExplorerOnStandardDesktop]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\HideDesktopIcons\\NewStartPanel"
"Text"="Show Internet Explorer icon on the Standard Desktop"
"Type"="checkbox"
"ValueName"="{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Internet Explorer\InternetExplorerOnClassicDesktop]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\HideDesktopIcons\\ClassicStartMenu"
"Text"="Show Internet Explorer icon on the Classic Desktop"
"Type"="checkbox"
"ValueName"="{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
This adds a new folder icon to the Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View Menu called "Internet Explorer" with two options:

"Show Internet Explorer icon on the Classic Desktop" and
"Show Internet Explorer icon on the Standard Desktop"

Hopefully this should then work on all desktop types, althought I personally only use the Standard Desktop so I cannot say for sure this will work.

Kind Regards

Simon
