Windows Mail Icon

[Travis]

The Icon and Windows Mail have disappeared from the Start Menu.

How do I get it back.

Thanks

Go to Control Panel | Default Programs and make WinMail default and that
should bring it back again.

But Windows Mail is not my default mail program, I only use it for text
newsgroups.

Thanks

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe.
Right-click on it. Select "Create Shortcut".

There is no WinMail.exe in Program Files. There is just a
WindowsMailGadget.exe there.

I didn't say it was in Program Files.
You have to be in the \Program Files\Windows Mail\ sub-directory.

Go to Tools | Folder Options | View and enable showing hidden files and
folders and see if you see it there then.

Or just copy and paste this into Start | Search:

"c:\program files\windows mail\winmail.exe"
