Hello
I recently installed a new larger WD hard drive, and usig the sw that came
with it, I copied the contents of my old drive to my new drive, then
reformatted the old smaller drive. As a result, there are a lot of program
icons (eg Word, Adaware, etc) that have gone away, and have beem replaced by
the default Windows icon. How can I get the original progrma icons back?

Thanks for any help
