Hi to those gurus in msdos/windows,

	I have a few problems in windows, for which I hope to find a quick 
solution. The problems are listed as follows. Some of them might real stupid, 
but for mysake, please answer them if you know. (I have been using MS dos for
quite a few years now, but started using Windows 3.0 only a few weeks back) 
Thanks in  advance...

/------ Problem 1 ------/

	As you know, the application "PaintBrush" which comes with the windows
	package, I had a small problem with it. One of my profs. after using it
	accidently "deleted" the application. With the help of "Norton Utilites
	5.0" (quick unerase), I was able to recover the file. But the problem
	araised when I could "not" get the "ICON" for the paint brush back. The
	application ran when I executed it from the " file manager ". So after
	trying all possibilites and trying to refer to the manual, I finally got
	fed up and talked to our University (business college) Computers 
   	in-charge regarding the icon stuff. He said that there was no way but
	to reinstall the application. But, I think there is/should be a way 
	to get the Icons back instead of reinstalling the total software. Any
	suggestions...? I tried using the "windows set up" where the computer
	scans for window application and reports all possible applications.

/------ Problem 2 ------/

	Is there any way to get general application (such as budget, 
	Harvard graphics etc..) appear as an ICON in windows...?
