Default Win7 RC to Win7 - Where are desktop shortcuts?

I successfully moved from Win 7 (RC) to Win 7 (RTM) with only an acceptable number of problems. Where in Windows.old will I find my desktop shortcuts file?

  1. Click the Start button and then click Computer.
  2. Double-click the drive that Windows is installed on (typically, the C: drive).
  3. Double-click the Windows.old folder.
  4. Double-click the Users folder, Double-click your user name
  5. Double-click Desktop folder

Thanks Jen - I guess I lost the Desktop folder. I had followed the chain you suggested, but no joy. After my user name, there was only App Dat > Local > Microsoft > nternet Explorer > Recovery > High > Acrive & Laast Active. None of the folders contained anything other than the next folder in the chanin. The lst two folders contained long hexadecimal in braces named DAT files.

Sighhhhhhhhhh! I'll re-find them one by one in the coming weeks.

Sorry for the finger checks. I'm visually impaired and sometimes get careless.
