Hi
Yes, I use calculator all the time, it opens from a key on my Microsoft keyboard, so I never really thought about where you access it onscreen.
I do remember that I had a hard time finding Note Pad, and have an icon for it on my task-bar now.
if you use any of these regularly it's much easier to tell it to place a link on the task-bar.
