Can't get Internet Explorer to open

Since downloading and installing the latest version of Firefox, I've been unable to open Microsoft Internet Explorer. (Love Firefox as I might, I still require IE for certain sites, like my company portal.)
I've tried removing IE from the Windows options and then re-installing it; I've removed Firefox and re-inatalled it, both to no avail.
I suspect that Firefox has (automatically? I don't remember making the selection) become my default browser during the installation, but I don't see how to disable this feature (if that's my problem).
I've made IE the preferred Internet connection in the Taskbar. When I hit the icon, I get the hourglass for a few seconds and then it just returns to the standard cursor arrow and nothing else happens.
When checking the properties of IE, I get the following address:
Target: C: \Documents and Settings\(my
name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Shortcut: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
Anyone out here with any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
