hi
try doing a find for excel.exe.if this is found then click on to start/run and type in the path for excel.exe and click on ok to have excel run.
also right click on the desktop and creat a new short cut.sound like they have not given you a short cut.Should also be in the programs menu
all the best

THXS ATKIG11 for asking the question, glad to know that i am not the ONLY THICKO
