I assume you have tried this:-
Click Start
click All Programs
look for and click Internet Explorer. (near the top of the list)
If there you can also right click on it and click Pin to Taskbar in the pop up menu

If it is not there click the folder on your bottom task bar near the Start button to bring up Windows Explorer
click the plus sign beside the C: drive on the left side
in the menu dropped down below click the plus sign beside Program Files
click on Internet Explorer to highlight it
now look on the right side and right click on iexplore and in the pop up menu click to pin to Taskbar.
Done.

I'm sorry I am a little lost here. What are you referring to as "All I have is Google..........."? How do you have Google with no browser?

If they did that they would have a TON of windows updates to do plus likely all 3 service packs to deal with. Any of those items you listed try doing a google search for them and you will quickly find out what they belong to, or use a program like free start up lite by the makers of malwarebytes. StartUpLite avg= your antivirus is AVG? you do not want to stop that for sure. you can use a process library to find what each one is and does, what ever you do, DO NOT use a registry cleaner! if this is a dell then the dsca is a dell file C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\gs_agent\custom\dsca.exe DSCA is Dell's remote-support app. If you're relying on Dell's remote-desktop support, do not delete it. but it does not need to be in your start up list. msseces.exe (Microsoft Security Essentials) are you using both AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials on your pc for Antivirus? if so you need to fully remove one of them you should only run one full time AV at a time that will cause conflicts. smax4pnp.exe (SoundMax controls) you can look up the rest of them there at the pcpitstop library if you want. another good free program that can help you with this kind of stuff is winpatrol WinPatrol

Device manager access 1.Right click my computer. 2. Choose properties 3. Choose Hardware tab 4. Click Device Manager- you may see (!) these in yellow indicating the problem right click them see the options. Look for network adapters you can get the name of yours there, you can also right click it choose un-install now reboot windows and it should detect new hardware. You may have this fixed already but if not try it.... zep

anyone still using IE6 on their computer is seriously jeopardizing the safety of their pc, MS stopped updating IE6, it is essential to update to a newer version asap. Websites are no longer supporting IE6 so many things will not work. The most important thing however is the huge holes in IE6 that are no longer being patched which leave you wide open to nasties. If you insist on not doing IE8 then definitely at the very least get IE7 NOW Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP Please understand that leaving IE6 on your pc and simply using a different browser does NOT necessarily help in blocking your exposure. Downloading and installing IE7 will take care of that so would IE8. Then if you choose to use firefox instead you are good to go but definitely update from IE6.

Did you reboot your computer? That would be the first place to start.

I am wondering also what you mean by google? Do you mean Chrome browser by google?

Give us more information

I rebooted the computer, I have a google toolbar. I right clicked on the desktop, chose new, typed Internet Explorer
then it wanted me to browse for the target of the shortcut. So that didn't work.

arosegirl-
It's very unlikely that it disappeared from your computer. Just go to "Start," "All Programs," and see if it is listed on your computer. If it is, right-click on it and choose "Send to...Desktop," which will give you a shortcut icon. Then report back.

If it's not listed, report back and we'll give you more tips.
