Have you ever had a problem with your Windows PC, looked up the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article for the problem and found a long list of instructions to fix the problem? Yup, me, too. Have you ever asked, why can’t Microsoft just fix this for me? Well, now they can! Check out the Fix it for me blog – there’s a number of common problems listed there each with a link to a KB article with a “Fix it” button. Just click the button and your problem is fixed. I used the “Show Internet Explorer Icon Fix it” and it worked perfectly.
