Default Lost shortcut

Thanks Chris and Luc - I should have found it without bothering you - I'm a
Mac man from as long ago as 1984 and still, after 4-5 years, have
difficulties to finding my way round Windows. Somehow it just does not
seem... but I wont go along that just now.

Best wishes for 2007 and more difficult questions than that one!

Francis

Windows XP, Word 2000

Somehow I have lost the Word shortcut on the taskbar. I scrapped the
shortcup on the desktop ages ago. Word no longer appears in Programs
from Start.

Word is still there hiding but I cannot find it so can you suggest
how to get a shortcut back into these places. There is no problem
with running Word once I have double clicked an existing file but it
is a bit cumbersome and very time wasting.

Please help.

Thank you,

Francis Hookham


Francis, you need to find out where the Word program(WINWORD.EXE) is
living on your disk. Possibly somewhere like 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office'.

Navigate to that location in an Explorer window, then you can just drag
the WINWORD.EXE icon into your Start Menu and the taskbar.
