I do not understand this....So the other day I'm looking for paint on my computer....i dont see it...so i go to search and i search for "paint" and it does not come up....so finally to determine if i actually have it, i right click a picture and choose edit and it opens in paint.....i can not find it anywhere on my computer...i've looked through numerous folders and can not find it...any ideas?

C:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe

or c:\windows\mspaint.exe

the executable is called mspaint.exe though

thanks evan...i have no earthly idea why it is not coming up when i search it...tried mspaint and paint and came up with 0 results...strange

If you go to Start and Run, does just typing mspaint work?

10/13/2007 7:04:27 PM

yeah

the reason i needed to find it was so i could right click it and create a shortcut so i could move the shortcut to my start menu

10/13/2007 7:16:38 PM

start>my programs>accessories>paint

It might not have been installed somehow? Add/remove programs, windows components. Just add it back.

You may not have had "Search system folders" checked in the advanced tab of Search. So you would get no results then.

^yeah, but run->mspaint would run it then.

^I'm saying, when he searched for it, it didn't come up, because he may not have been actually searching the system folders, where mspaint.exe is located.

open the case up and look under the hard drive, see if it fell out
