I dont get the Step 4 "Click on Allow for UAC prompt." I just right click the file and I want to move it to my start menu but it only gives me the options to move it to desktop or documents. How do I move it to my Start Menu?

Hello ShortManTuff, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Usually if you have UAC turned on, after you open the ZIP file you will get the UAC prompt asking you to click Continue (step 4) to allow the ZIP file to open. Especially if you use a 3rd party ZIP program.

After you have extracted the shortcut from the ZIP file, this tutorial below will show you how you can add or move it to the Start menu.

Hope this helps,

You would do the same thing as above with the Start Menu, but with this tutorial below for a normal IE7 shortcut instead.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/68093-internet-explorer-icon.html

You can also right click on the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (32 bit Vista) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (64 bit Vista) file and click on Send To and Desktop (create shortcut), then move it to the Start menu.

I want to try this, but everytime I try to save or run this program from the download link, it restarts IE again and dumps it. I tried opening it from the address bar but then it just hangs up and never finishes downloading.

Shortmantuff,

Did you try manually creating a IE shortcut by right clicking on the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (32 bit Vista) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (64 bit Vista) file, and click on Send To and Desktop (create shortcut), then move this new IE shortcut on the desktop to the Start menu as posted above yet? This is for the normal IE shortcut and not for the "No Add-on" one.
