Re: Explorer.Ink file error message

hey, did you drag the icon from the start menu to the desktop? usually thats why that happens:

- Right click the link on the desktop
- Click properties
- Find the location it points to and see if it's in the start menu folders
(e.g. "C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\explorer.lnk" [or your username])

If it points to the start menu then change it to the program menu's entry, or re-copy the link from the start menu to the desktop (maybe you changed the name of the one in the start menu)...

Cheers,
Jamey
