IE Favorites icon now on Desktop

Hey,

Somebody used my laptop and now the IE Favorites menu is on the desktop. It's a yellow star icon with the word Favorites under it. It won't let me delete it, so I'm trying to return it to where it came from. I'm unsure though of where to put it - anybody know what I should do?

Thanks.

Did you try to do System Restore?...if not then is suggest you do before anything else.And if you want to avoid this kind of problem put a password on your your log-in so nobody mess with your lap top.

Right click on Start>Explore. Use the left panel of Explorer and find the Favorites as a subheading under the Desktop. Also, expand the branch to expose the Documents and Settings area under your User Name. Now, RIGHT click on the Favorites icon and DRAG it to the Documents and Settings folder. Drop it there and you'll get an option screen. Select Move Here. Yer Done.
