Creating a shortcut
 
I have OE 6.0 with WinXP and I dont have any shortcuts to launch OE. The
only way I can launch OE is if I go to Start-Run and type in "msimn". If
I do a search for msimn.*, I can not find the executable to create a
shortcut. Any suggestions on how to create a shortcut? I have folder
options enabled to see all file types.

I had Show all hidden files and Folders enabled, however, I had "Hide
protected operating system files (Recommended) with a check. Once I removed
the check, I was able to see msimn.exe in the appropriate folder. Thanks
for the help to get me there. I never would have though msimn.exe was a
protected o/s file!
