MS WORD LOST FROM DESKTOP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I somehow removed Microsoft Word from my desktop. It's accessible through
the My Documents folder, but I would like to have it back on the desktop and
haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish this. Thanks very much.

Simply find out the shortcut from start menu, and then drag to the desktop by
right-click, then select "copy to here"

Kenny: Thanks; but I am unable to find a shortcut--or even Word itself--in
Start-Programs. Am I looking in the wrong place?

If it is accessible through your Documents folder then
try right-clicking the icon and select send to, desktop.

Hi

You don't say which version of MS Word you have. The following - put into
the Target box of a new shortcut - is for MS Word 2003 (as part of Office
2003):

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE"

Will; It's 2002. Still not being sure, I went to Start-Search and entered
"WINWORD," and, right-clicking on the "application" and moving it to the
desktop it appears to be restored. Thank you very much for your help. I
really appreciate it.

I hope you just created a shortcut to it and not moved the exe file. I
still get confused with drag'n'drop, if its going to make a
shortcut...move the file. Just to be safe, I alway's right-button drag
and drop, which then presents a context menu allowing you to choose move
or copy.

In the future, if you need to create a desktop shortcut to something
else, after locating it, just right-click on it, then 'Send to...' ->
'Desktop (create shortcut)'............no question's there.

Glad you've got your shortcut back. The command I posted would have to be
altered slightly for MS Word 2002.
