Wordpad moved. Should I move it back? Where to?

[Guest]

After a Windows update a few months ago, WORDPAD disappeared from the desktop. Recently I found WORDPAD.EXE in a folder C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. Is this where it belongs? Should I move it elsewhere? Or just put a shortcut to this folder on the Desktop?

Hi,

Wordpad is not a default icon for the Desktop. You must have placed it
there. To recreate the shortcut:

Go to Start/All Programs/Accessories and right click Wordpad and choose Send
to Desktop

Properties:

"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"

desktop. Recently I found WORDPAD.EXE in a folder
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. Is this where it belongs? Should I move
it elsewhere? Or just put a shortcut to this folder on the Desktop?

Thanks for your response. Problem is that Wordpad doesn't show up in Accessories. But following your suggestion I put a shortcut to its new location on my desktop. That works. But I am still puzzled that it disappeared from Accessories. Anybody have a clue
