LOST (AND FOUND) ICON

"I deleted the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop. How can I get it back? I liked being able to right-click this icon and select Properties to get to the Internet Properties dialog box."

You can put this icon right back where it belongs using Tweak UI, a utility available on the Windows 98 installation CD. (In case you missed our previous tips on this utility, here's how to install Tweak UI: Pop the installation CD in your CD-ROM drive, click Browse This CD, navigate your way to the tools\reskit\powertoy folder, right-click tweakui.inf, and select Install.)

Now to get that icon back. Open the Control Panel, double-click Tweak UI, and select the Desktop tab. Under Special Desktop Icons, select Internet Explorer and click OK. Back on your desktop, watch as that IE4.x icon magically reappears.
