It’s not horrible when you have to do it once or twice, but what if you are working at a Help Desk and you get 30 calls a day with the same problem?  I guess by the third or fourth fix you have most of the steps memorized, right? 

But there are times when we simply forget, even the best of us.  Sure, we can print all the steps, or save them in our favorites but this is nothing compared to Microsoft’s new little help icon “Fix it“. 

Microsoft is slowly adding this icon to help documents and hopefully we will see them, if not on all their help docs, at least at most of them.  Microsoft folks figured that since they know what the steps are to fix a specific problem, why not script it and put an icon to run the script in their documents. 

It’s really easy to use and works great — go ahead and try it, I bet you’ll like it. High five Microsoft for a job well done!

Here is a quick example of the “Fix it” button in action and if your Internet Explorer icon is missing from your desktop you can just click and the problem will be fixed.
