Forefox won't start in windows XP: I get the message that windows "cant' find the exe file" even when I click from the program file, rather than the shortcut.

Delete the current Firefox shortcut on the desktop and create a new desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu on the Firefox.exe program (Send to > Desktop)

thanks cor-el.

I tried it; it didn't work. Should I delete Firefox (shortcut?) from the start-up menu as well?
