How Do I Find Windows Explorer?

[Guest CP]

I just bought a laptop with XP on it, and I can't find Windows Explorer. Did

Microsoft do the usual thing and delete a feature because it was too simple

and easy to use, or am I just not looking hard enough?

Win + E Key. Or, Start | Programs | Accessories.

Start

All Programs

Accessories

Near bottom (Windows Explorer)

 

You should have an option to pin to the start menu when right-clicking

windows explorer.

Thanks for your speedy reply! One question: How do I create a desktop icon
