I've had trouble for years with IE's icon. With IE7, I simply drug the ieexplorer.exe icon in the Programs folder to the Start menu. However, with IE8, this procedure didn't work because there is no ieexplorer.exe file.

What worked was clicking on Start, Set Program Access and Defaults, Custom drop-down menu, and allowing access to Internet Explorer (which was unchecked). The IE8 icon appeared in my Quicklaunch bar and in the All Programs list! Hope this solution works for you!
