    This worked great! I used this tip to modify the regedit entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}shellOpenHomePageCommand Now my desktop IE icon opens without a home page, and I didn't need to create a shortcut (with an ugly shortcut arrow across the icon) to do it :)!
