Thats probably was on your QuickLaunch toolbar. Default location is sort of next to the Start Button ?

Usually a couple other shortcuts there, just drag and drop it between two ... kind of a hard place to drop in the right spot sometimes.

You can...
Open the folder with a path something like this and drag and drop it into there, then drag it around on the QuickLaunch toolbar to get things back in order like you like.
C:\Documents and Settings\mike\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

(Sometimes quicker/easier, for me anyhow, is to open the popup and duplicate an existing icon with the make shortcut, then do properties on it and change it to IE path.)

Caroline, I use Internet Explorer as my browser, and my operating system is Windows XP Pro. The default location for the icon for a new shortcut is this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\url.dll That's where you end up with the icon that looks just like the Internet Explorer icon. You already know how to get to the point where you can change the icon, so click on "Browse" to change locations and then go to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll There are a lot of icons to choose from in that dll.

Why don't you just create a new icon on the Desktop and see if it's what you are used to? Go to: Start / Programs / Internet Explorer; right click on the program, select Copy, and Paste it to the Desktop. When you paste it, it may give you the option of replacing the existing icon at the same time, which is fine. Otherwise, if you like the new one and the old one is still there, just delete it.

Hi everyone, I found this on a website that tells you how to do it in Firefox. Open up FireFox and then go to view, then go to Zoom and you can Scroll down and select the 'ZOOM' option, then slide across, then down and select the 'ZOOM TEXT ONLY' option which should put a check mark by it. Now scroll back up and select the 'ZOOM IN' option to enlarge the text that you view on any website. Each time you go back and select the 'ZOOM IN' feature, the text will get larger. If you want to make the text smaller then go to Zoom Out And to get back to where it was before you started simply select the 'RESET' option. I did that here and it has stayed where I put it. You can do this as you move from site to site and it will stay the same as long as you have the check mark in "Zoom Text Only" That is what I found in my search, you can check it out to see what you get, so far this has worked. thirdfrt!!!
