Cannot locate Windows Explorer in Home Edition- please help

[ECLiPSE 2002]

I am new to Win 7 Home Edition and am at a loss to locate where
Windows Explorer is and how one accesses it. I wouold like to put it
in Start where I can locate it when needed.

Is there a way to set it up similar to the way Win XP configures it?

TIA,

Mary

- Click on the Start Orb and type "explorer" into the search box.

- Find "Computer" on the right side of the Start Menu. That's Explorer.

- Use "Personalize" to display the "My Computer" icon on the desktop.

There are many ways to skin this cat.

Several points:

1. You probably have an icon for "Computer" on your desktop.
"Computer" *is* Windows Explorer; it's just a particular view of it,
and you can navigate from there to any other view you want.

2. If you want the Windows Explorer called "Windows Explorer," click
the Start Orb and type Windows Explorer, then press Enter.

3. After typing Windows Explorer, instead of pressing enter, you can
right-click it at the top and choose "Pin to Task bar." It will then
be available whenever you want it

Click on the Start Orb, All Programs, Accessories.
You will find it there under Accessories.

Hi, Mary.

In addition to all those other tips, I like to right-click on Explorer.exe
and choose to Pin to Taskbar. Then it is always just one click away. (I
also pin it to the Start menu and Show on desktop; it's such a handy and
often-used tool that I want it always available quickly.)

Press/hold down the Windows key then press the E key.

Hey, RC--that's not in addition to what I said. I already said the
same thing!

Hold down Windows key and press "E" key.

Hi, Ken.

Oops! I misread your post as "pin to the Start menu". Gotta clean my
contact lenses. Sorry 'bout that.

Not a problem, RC. Just pulling your leg a bit. <g>

The way you typed your name reminds me of a time or two when I signed
my name Blooch. I had to laugh at myself...

OK, but you may *not* put that in your sig ;-)

I am apparently the self-appointed arbiter of sigs, so go ahead and
give me the obedience I deserve, i.e., the same level of obedience your
dog would give me...

My signature is fairly short and I don't plan on making it larger.

LOL, I've no problems here, you've done me no harm. ;-)

Probably. In the meantime, just hold down either Windows key and press E
- which is far faster than using the mouse anyway (-:.
