Thx for the info. Just a question, no critique: Why do you have changed the way to create a IE8-Desktop icon? The (formerly) explorer-folder-options-method was a setting which each user can use - or not. With the new option - installing (or removing) a windows component is a system-wide decision. If the first user will create a desktop icon, a second user has also this "component" installed but without having an icon. I think there is a little conflict. The "old" (Version 1.1.0) behavior seems to be more consistent. What do you think or what do you have in mind? Thanks again
