    Both Edge and Internet Explorer have a "e" icon. The Edge one (on the left below) is dark blue. The Internet Explorer one is a paler blue "e" with a gold ring or something sort of orbiting it.

    If you want to have Internet Explorer on the taskbar then open it (press the *Start key and start typing internet explorer, then click on it). To pin it right click on the taskbar icon and select "Pin to taskbar". It will then stay on the taskbar even when you close the program.

    You can leave the Edge icon on the taskbar as well, or, if you don't like it, you can right click on its taskbar icon and select "Unpin from taskbar". Hope this helps, Hali

    Click start > all Apps > Windows Accessories > Internet Explorer, right click it and select pin to taskbar

    Or type internet explorer in the search box, right click it and pin to taskbar.

    esenbe - that did it. But can I get more stuff up on the menu bar (?). I used to have file/edit/view/favorites/tools/help, and some other stuff.

    If you are talking about the menu bar of ie, it is exactly the same as it has always been. Just right click in the upper part of the window near the URL and select Menu, Favorites, command bar and a few others.

    Thanks guys, I have IE for browser, opens to the homepage I want. I have a google shortcut on the taskbar. But....when I click on it, It doesn't get added at the top row next to the other open windows like it was in W8.

    Ztruker. You are my hero. I have been searching the net to simply put Google Chrome back on my desktop because somehow it disappeared. I was getting the most bizarre and complicated and non-applicable instructions nobody could have made heads nor tails of. Then I find this site with your one-sentence flippant (in a good way) explanation. A two year-old could have mastered that explanation. This appreciation response to you is ten times longer and more complicated than your solution. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    got this in my email.....I already (somehow) had a google shortcut icon on my deskop. And, when I bring up google, there is no google icon to the left of the url area, there is only a drawing of one of those 'padlocks'.
    Wish I really could make website desktop shortcut icons that easily. Boy do I know what he means about searching like crazy and getting bizarre info that does not work. Incredible trying different ways people say to do something but it never works the way it says
    Maybe this tablet does not work the way it's supposed to. I'm shipping it back to RCA next week after my new laptop arrives. It's an RCA Cambio w101 tablet, sending it back because sometimes it will/wont come on, so maybe other functions are fouled up?
