Using win xp and we accidently moved the internet explorer icon that is on
the task bar (quick launch) and how do we get it back to the task bar? We
tried to create a short cut of the IE8 and drag into the task bar area but it
would not allow us to drag into the task bar. Thanks for your help.

Is it in the recycle bin?

It should drag to the task bar, but you have to put it on the desktop first.
Then dragging from the desktop to the task bar creates a link; then you
delete the spare you now have on the desktop if you wish.

Dragging to the QL area should work, but dragging to the Taskbar won't.

Ctrl/Z might get it back, if too many actions weren't taken since you
removed it.

Create the shortcut on the Desktop.

Name it "Launch Internet Explorer Browser"

Right-click the TaskBar

Uncheck "Lock the TaskBar"

Drag the "shortcut" onto the TaskBar

(Icon should now be moved.)

Right-click the TaskBar

Check "on" "Lock the TaskBar"
