I have hidden files displayed but a search does not turn up winword.exe -
only Microsoft Office Word 2003 in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office. I have looked on all drives.

"Microsoft Office Small Business Edition" can't be a valid target for a
shortcut to start Word. You need to find winword.exe (you'll have to set
Windows to display hidden files and folders), then create a shortcut to
it.

This works fine on my home PC but not in my office.
When I create a shortcut on my desktop there, the target (Microsoft
Office
Small Business Edition 2003) is greyed out and the "Start in:" box is
blank.
Do I take it there is no way round this, please?

It's the shortcut that Office creates when you install the program, so
there's no telling how it works this magic. I have no idea what the
reasoning was behind making it uneditable, but I personally think that
sucks.

Yes, the default shortcuts are uneditable. But you can find
Winword.exe
and
create a new shortcut that will be editable.
Okay, that worked, but can somebody explain to me what kind of
shortcut
is
originally created that shows no path and is not editable? I've never
seen that
kind of shortcut before.
Thanks,
Scott
