Thanks BrianDrab, and yes I still do require your expert assistance.
P.S. I've been perusing some of your 'solved threads' on this forum.
Since posting this thread and reinstalling IE 11 then 10 via Win update I've gotten back the icon but it opens to a blank screen, as is Secunia PSI. I don't know if that was related to this thread so I posted a new thread with those and referred to this one also in that post.
I'm unable to attach files to my threads, don't know why. so I've placed them in my DropBox acct.
Now how do I share them with you?
