Hello. I just removed a computer virus and now my notepad application is
gone. The shortcuts are still there but nothing happens. How do I install
wordpad?
 
Hi,

Notepad or Wordpad?

Notepad should be under C:\Windows
Wordpad under C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories

Start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general tab)

File to expand: notepad.exe (or wordpad.exe)
From: X:\I386
To: <folder indicated above>

Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD
for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may
find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386. If so, change the
"from" line accordingly. This assumes a default installation to C:\Windows.
If your installation is in a different folder, such as C:\Winnt, change the
"To" path accordingly. Reboot when finished.
