Question
Sound recorder isn't no where to be found

I cannot find my Sound Recorder anywhere on my screen, the reason for this is because on my family screen I took it off and put it on the deskstop, and when I try to get it on my screen, I can't find it, any help as to why I can't find it?

Did you drag the accessories sound recorder icon off of the entertainment list to the desk?
First check the recycle bin to see if someone dragged it there where you can restore it. The
best way to create a desktop icon is not to drag a default system link directly but to create
a second shortcut to the desktop. If it gets deleted you simply create a new one after. Take
a quick look in the entertainment area of accessories if this was an extra shortcut created by the method described here. If it was a software installed you would have to browse the
installation folder for the executable to create another by right clicking on it and then drag
the new shortcut onto the desktop from the explorers window.

If you pulled the link off of the entertainment section right to the desktop and it was wiped
by either dragging to the R.Bin or right clicked to delete and the bin was emptied a reinstall
of the recorder may have to be performed to replace it. If you are currently running XP you
could look into the unused desktop folder to see if desktop cleanup had just been run on an
automatic schedule. If not unchecked that MS background service will run every 30 days. If
you see this folder on the desktop look in there. With multiple user accounts try each one to
see if one there has made created. The last option to simply create a destop shortcut is a
simple browse in the "C:\Windows\system32\" folder to locate the sndrec32.exe file. By the
right click on the executable you can create a new shortcut. That could be used temporarily
until and if? the original is found.
