If you are running XP check here.

Open explorer and find this.

C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe

Once, you have found this right click and select copy.

Now you can paste that as a shortcut anywhere you want.

Type Write in the run box that will open Wordpad

The location of this file is

%SystemDrive%\WINDOWS\system32\write.exe

Please use a more meaningful topic title.

If you really deleted the file (wordpad.exe or write.exe, whichever it is), it can be copied from the XP CD (WORDPAD.EX_ or WRITE.EX_) or I386 folder if it exists.
