Jose,
Let's first make sure you can access wordpad. Go to Start, hit Run, and
type 'wordpad' and press Enter. Hopefully Wordpad will open. If so, close
Wordpad and go back to your desktop. Right-click on a blank space on your
desktop and choose New > Shortcut. Click Browse and browse to c:\Program
Files\Windows NT\Accessories and highlight wordpad.exe. Click OK, then
Next, then type what you would like your shortcut to say, and finally click
Finish.
