Hi Linda - any relation to Ali G?
What operating system are you using? I can't find a 'task launcher' only a 'task scheduler' on mine.

What have you installed on your computer since it last worked? Are you running Norton?

If the Task launcher doesn't work then go into your documents and open a file produced by Works. That will then allow you to create a new document. I would also suggest doing a System Restore to a date before this problem started, which should repair the shortcut fault.

speaking from experiance, never ever do a restore unless you are sure you don't have a virus
