Re: no character map!

Go to C:\Windows\System32.

Right click on charmap.exe and send to desktop as shortcut.

From there you can move it to any startup folder you wish. I suggest
Accessories!

Start > Run > charmap.exe works for me.

or as you type 'char' in the new Start Menu Search box, it appears.

Thanks -- I was wondering if it was still there.

I see it's still where it used to be <g>
