Hi Mayrie, Kim and everyone!

Perhaps Kim didn't find Wordpad in her Accessories folder initially because she needed to show hidden items. When I can't find something in the start menu, if I arow up one from Accessories and then down again, I will have the menu option "show hidden items". Thene I can find whatever it is anywhere in the start menu or in a folder off of it by either arrowing down or hitting the initial of what the menu item is I'm looking for that won't show up if it is hidden.

Hi Kim,

If you press the windows key, and then the letter r, then type wordpad, the
program should run.

And, as Melissa said, if you go into accessories under programs, you can
then hit the letter w until you hear "wordpad" spoken and open it there, or
continue with Melissa's instructions for how to create a desktop shortcut.

Sometimes up arrowing in your list of programs won't work as you think it
should, because, unlike your documents, programs listed in your start menu
do not automatically get reordered alphabetically when you add new ones, but
sometimes appear to remain in order of addition to your computer.

So, maybe try start button, programs, accessories, and then hitting w until
you hear wordpad spoken, then hit enter to open it, or use the applications
key as Melissa said to create the desktop shortcut.

Hope that works!

Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Finding WordPad and putting it on my desktop

Hi, I want to find WordPad and put an icon for it on my desktop (computer,
not actual). How do I go about doing this as it doesn't seem to be in my
program files or if it is, it's a mystery to me where it's lurking. I'm sure
I have it, it's locating the little bugger that has me stymied. Can you
help? Regards, Kim, slightly confused.
