It on your XP CD. You can use the Expand button in the System Configuration
tool (Start> Run> MSCONFIG) to grab a single file out of the i386 folder. If
your Windows was preinstalled, check your hard drive for an i386 folder. The
default location for Wordpad is:
"<x:>\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"

Replace <x:> with the drive letter where your main Program Files folder
resides (usually C:)
