Hi George
I have no problem finding files but this is one of those things that is a
bit tricky to explain. Actually I have organised all my program folders into
about 10 different catagories and shuffled them all around so it's easy to
find the program I want. Although I have a lot of them to hand as I have
setup hot keys for the most used ones.
I know what you mean about the filename for outlook express. You'd think
they would come up with a better name for the file than msn.exe .. .. never
mind they will get it right one of these years.

Hi Darran,
Here's a tip for finding the location of programs - or at
least those which appear in the Programs list.
Highlight the program in the list. Then right click on it
and select Properties.
Look at the "Target:" field. On my system for Outlook
Express this shows as,
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"
I have to confess "msimn" not exactly an intuitive name for
this program!
George Bell.

Thanks for this Darren, but I simply cannot find Outlook
Express.
Following your advice, I've thoroughly searched in trees,
bushes and several small shrubs, but haven't been able to
spot it anywhere!
