lol

i can't remember about the ie thing but with the control panel there is a whole set of files called *.cpl in c:\windows\system32

if they are renamed or deleted, all your control panel icons wil go away, so hopefully they have just been renamed, maybe to *.aaa or something

examples are:
main.cpl
access.cpl
desk.cpl
powercfg.cpl

etc, there will be a large list somewhere.

although i guess for ie you can look in the reg because you'll be able to change it there.

start->run->regedit
