Open Windows Explorer to the ..\Windows\System32\ folder. Locate the
notepad.exe file. Right click on it and select Send to Desktop [as
shortcut].
  --Or--
Right click the desktop and select New> Shortcut. Enter:
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe
as the location of the item. Click Next and type in a name for your new
notepad shortcut.

After creating your shortcut, drag it to the Start menu and drop it into
the Accessories folder.
