Lost MS Word Icon from Start Menu...help?
Trying to move MS Word shortcut icon from Start Menu "All Programs" area, I
deleted it - oops! How to find/create or otherwise return the icon? Now, to
use MS Word, I must open a past Word document, delete all contents and begin
my new Word document. Silly Me :-)

Right click Desktop>New>Shortcut>Browse to the Word executable.

Alternately, open a new blank Word doc and SaveAs "New Doc" to your Desktop.
Drag it to the Quick Launch toolbar or Start button.

Steve,

This tutorial should help you restore any icons in the start menu. Here's the link: Start Menu - Customize

I hope this helps.
