As commonly happens, I was sitting at my desk listening to the AAFH and the bossman try to fix a problem.
The IE icon had disappeared from a student's computer, and they didn't know how to bring it back. So, about the time they're trying to track down an IE installer, I walk over.
Me: "Click Start."
Bossman: "It's not there, we already checked."
Me: "Click Start."
AAFH actually did it. I was surprised.. it was one of the few times she's actually listened to me.
Me: "Click on My Computer. Click on the address bar..."
Bossman: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Now type in the address."
Bossman: "I knew it. Didn't work."
I stared at the IE window that was up.
Me: "Bossman, you're nuts."
AAFH started getting into windows updates.
Me: "Go me!"
Bossman: "Finally you know how to do something."
Me: "Jelous!"
I mean, DUH! If you can get to windows explorer from Internet explorer, you can get to internet explorer from windows explorer. I thought this was a common thing, am I wrong?
Oh, as to the why. Her IE icon disappeared. I just realized I didn't check if iexplore.exe worked... Firefox was set as her default browser, which didn't help to get Windows updates, and it wasn't listed in the program list, and the Internet Explorer window didn't have the iexplore.exe file. I blame malware.
It was a pretty old machine. Dead battery and all.
