Adding Wndows Mail icon to desktop

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I miss my outlook
express. Would be grateful if anyone could help me get a shortcut on my
desktop.

In the Start Search box above the Start Orb, type winmail.exe. When winmail.exe
appears at the top of the Start Menu, right click, choose Sent to > Desktop
(create shortcut).

Use Vistas Help & Support Facility to learn about
finding programs, creating short-cuts, cut'n'pasting,
right click functions... in a word RTFM.

Nope.

I think it in everyone's long term best interest
that you learn how to operate your computer.

You are just being lazy and diverting resources
from those with real problems.

Give someone a fish and they eat today,
teach someone to fish and they eat everyday.
