Dell XPS 410- i installed internet explorer 7 (ie 7) and then my
shortcut did not work

i only installed ie7 because the computer was badgering me to do it,
and i did not want to start falling behind in my obligations to it.

So i did it and wham! if i just clicked on my shortcut that would
start explorer it would just hang.
Actually it would draw a little bit of the screen and then just stop
responding (hangs)

but everything would work fine if i went to IE via the start button.

rebooting did not help

I even deleted and recreated my shortcut to IE

that did not help

lastly, i found after several hours that i needed to update my 'GOOGLE
DESKTOP' or whatever is called!

for one thing, i did not think i had google desktop, but i guess i do.
because after i did the update,
then everything worked fine.

just posting this in case somebody has the same thing happen to them

Well, if you really don't like IE7, you can uninstall it, reverting back to IE6.
Microsoft's Windows Update nags you to install IE7, but you can always put a
halt to this nonsense by picking the right option. Then it goes from a
mandatory install to an optional one, and the nagging stops... Ben Myers
