Re: wordpad gone

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

What is in:

C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories folder

Is wordpad.exe there?

If not, then you have to reinstall from Add/Remove Programs | Windows
Components, but first you nned to modify C:\Windows\Inf\sysoc.inf

Look for the following line:

MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,Hide,7

and remove the Hide option:

MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,,7

Now when you open Add/Remove Programs | Windows Components, Wordpad will
appear as and option under Accessories. You can then install/remove it.
