Add Internet Explorer 7 Icon to the Desktop in Windows Vista

I'm sure many of you are thinking… can't I just make a shortcut? You are correct, that's the simplest way to do it… but the icon we're talking about today isn't a shortcut… it's the actual IE icon that used to exist in prior versions of Windows.
The main benefit to using this icon instead of a shortcut is that you can quickly get to the Internet Options page by right-clicking and choosing Properties.

You'll notice that you can also use "Start Without Add-ons", which is helpful for troubleshooting problems.
