Hi Wesley,
Thanks for responding. By your directions, it would help me to find Word,
Excel, etc in DOS but I want to find them in Windows. I never had to
search
for these programs because the icons were always there but by placing
these
programs into another folder caused their paths to be invalid. Is this
normal then? If I didn't do this, would I still not be able to get
results
for a search of these programs?
Oh, and by the way, I can no longer find my Temporarry Internet Folder. I
didn't do anything to this folder, just to my media players and Microsoft
Office programs. Instead of going into Start > Control Panel > Internet
Options > Delete Files, I made a shortcut on my Start list and I'd open it
and delete all. That folder is no longer there. Could I have moved it by
moving the above mentioned folders? I wouldn't think so but it's a
strange
coincidence.

Look around.
MS Word is winword.exe.
excel.exe is the executable for Microsoft Excel.
msaccess.exe is the executable for Microsoft Access.

Ok, I know that this is going to sound like the dummest thing you have
ever heard but I want your promise to keep those thoughts to yourself
before you decide to answer this post.
I was "rearranging" the items in Start-up because I had so many
programs
that I couldn't see the newest ones that I'd installed. I created
several
folders which I placed in the "Programs" folder (C > Documents and
Settings
All Users > Start Menu > Programs. Inside of that folder, I createdseveral new folders, one I named Media Players and I put on the player
folders inside of it. I created another one for all of my picture
programs, another for Yahoo, etc, etc. I combined Microsoft software
into the Microsoft Office Tools folder. However, and this is THE big
however, I somehow lost Microsoft Word and Access. The "Microsoft
Office
Shortcut" toolbar will come up and I can choose Word, Excel, Access,
etc,
but a Search for these programs comes up empty. I've always had
shortcuts of these programs on my desktop for extremely easy access,
but
even though the programs are in my pc, I can't "find" them except by
opening the Microsoft Office Tools folder, which is ok, but I want to
find the programs and I can't find them. I created a shortcut icon
from
each of the icons in the Office Shortcut Bar and placed them on my
desktop, which resolved half of my dilema. But it's driving me crazy
that I can't find them in a search.
Oh where, oh where can my programs be? Or where, or where can they be?
*sniffle*
Now, remember . . . you promised not a word about this teensy-weensy,
uh,
blunder. Okay, it was a blunder, I'll admit it, but I'm going to hold
you to your word . . . unintentional pun, lol.

If you had followed Wesley's directions you would have realized you were not
in DOS, but in Explorer where you could have verified the executables for
Office were still there - if found, you could have created shortcuts for
them, if not, you would know you need to repair/reinstall Office.
