    Did you check the Programs Files folder, EX, C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer to see if the "iexplore.exe" is there and works??? You might just be missing the shortcuts.
    You know what? That's the problem. I cannot believe I overlooked something that simple. Thank you very very much. Now I just need to create a shortcut and I'll be sorted. Thank you so much again.
    I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted. :)

    Hi there,
    I'm having the same problem.. and I've tried the resolution provided..
    Trying that way I can't load ie as it looks like it's half missing, not sure if it's still iexplorer.exe but that's not there..
    I removed the folder and tried to add again in Windows Features but makes no difference.
    There's a few gadgets that look for ie and won't work with anything else.
    And since I turned it off in Windows Features I can't readd it.
    Want to load it again so any help would be great..

    Not a good idea to add or remove folders in Windows Explorer. Instead, try this:

    UNinstall in Windows Features, Reboot, Reinstall in Windows Features.

    Control Panel/Internet Options/Advanced/Reset...

    Heya..
    Thanks for the response..
    I removed from the Windows Features and this was around a month ago..
    Now I'm wanting IE back.. I go back into Windows Features, tick IE and reboot.. it's still not working..
    I removed the folder just incase Windows Features saw the IE folder and did nothing, I was hoping it would scan and see no IE folder and fresh install..

    Please help.. someone..

    Hello K1rTu5, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you have a retail Windows 7 DVD, then you can do a repair install to fix this without losing anything.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
