shortcuts
just so you know, i am totally useless with computers. today i deleted the word shortcut off my desktop, thinking ot would delete only the desktop shortcut. however, now when i look for word, all the shortcuts havo gone - when i type 'word' intot he vista start search bar thing, it comes up with excel, powerpoint etc. but no word. word is still installed as i can run existing word documents - im fairly sure there is a ridiculously simple solution i have overlooked, but as I said, i am useless wih computers. can i gat my shortcuts back?
