MS word 2003 shortcut

[Mskulam]

When I installed Visual Studio 2005 Express edition in my XP machine [Windows
2003 Server in my work site], the MS Word and MS Excell shortcuts dissappered
from "Start>All Program>Microsoft Office". But the rest of the shortcuts such
as Powerpoint, oulook all are there, only Word and excel shortcuts
dissapered. Why?

Not sure why, but it's easy enough to fix. Use Windows Explorer or My
Computer to browse to the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11"
folder (or wherever you installed Office 2003 to). Left-click on
"winword.exe", press Ctrl+C to copy, browse to the "C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office" folder,
right-click on a blank area in the file list display pane, and
left-click on "Paste shortcut". Repeat for "excel.exe".
