Ok your calc did not go missing your shortcut properties just got changed. So let me tell you I use the run command on my PC all I do is type "calc" into the run command and hit enter and this opens my calculator. But that is not what you asked all you need to do is copy %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe to you clipboard then navigate to the calculator start and then right click it. Choose properties and in the box called target paste in the above location and then it should work again.

Hahaha, Graham it is like the microwave being used only to cook popcorn. Or the cordless phone that never goes farther than a corded phone.

I did find out that I could right click on the desktop (in a blank area where there are no shortcut icons) then select "New / Shortcut and type "calc" into the field window and now I have it on the desktop.
I didn't figure out how to get it back into "accesories" using Steve's suggestion above, but, I guess I don't care so much now.
I just want it there when I need it...like most things, but I don't have the curiosity or ambition to "geek" this along any further!
Thanks again, and maybe this will help some others!

Hey Dave... I hit the Windows button (between Ctl and Atl) then <R> then type 'calc' to start my calculator... normally it's the last thing I've opened so I don't even have to type the 'calc'... it's just Windows Key, <R> <Enter>...
Quicker than clearing the desktop and hunting for an icon.
