Vince, this is NOT a simmering issue ;-)
The only thing I'd like to know(in hindsight) is: what corrective steps would have been involved (if knowing the locations of Wordpad, Paint, et al was pertinent) in order to have gotten them(Wordpad/Paint) reinstalled, relocated, whatever, to where they should have been, in order to be operable.
That's all, nothing more ;-)
