Is your IE7 desktop icon missing in Vista?

This is what you are missing. Create a reg file with the following text - merge with the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

You will need to refresh the desktop to see the shortcut (right click on desktop, select refresh).

Hi, Sandi.  Thanks.  

It appears that others have also had this problem.  The suggestions at Scot's Newsletter Forum also worked:
