"Calculator" missing from start menu...

Question

"Calculator" missing from start menu...

when i use "help" there is a link to "open calculator" and when i click that it opens, who knew? lol but the problem is that it wont show me the source location of "the calc exe" so i can copy it into my start menu accessories catagory. is there a way to find out where calculator: execute resides in my drive, so i can copy it?

Answer 1

Hi,

Start - type Search box -> calculator   find at top of list - Right Click on - COPY then go to a blank area

of the Desktop - right click - Paste. Then you can paste into the Start Menu as desired.

Normally it is here :

Start - All Programs - Accessories - Calculator

An excellent 3rd party Calculator - Free

Karenware - Calculator - Free

Hope this helps.

Hi,

by default it is in %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe

which is C:\system32\calc.exe

Answer 3

i did use the search function but it wasnt there... like i said the only place i could find it was to use the "help" feature, so i know its still in there some where (and normally u can see the file's location by right clicking it aand show the file's  original source location   but from "help" it wont do that, it will only open it up. I want to find its original file location so i can copy that into my start/accessory location. 

Thank You for your response in this my trivial yet personally bothersome quest... ;)
