Are you sure? It's located in start>all programs>accessories>system tools.
It's exe is located in c:/Windows/System32 and is called Charmap.exe. You
should be able to click start/run and type in charmap and click ok or hit
enter on your keyboard and it will open. Post back if you need more. TTFN.

1. Click Start - Run - type CHARMAP and press Enter.
2. If it opens that means only the shortcuts has been removed.
3. Find that file in your Winodws\System32 directory and create a shortcut.

If you are not able to run it through RUN command then:

1. Click Start - Control Panel - Add / Remove Programs Windows Components
2. Select Accessories and Utilities - click Details - select Accessories -
click Details again.
3. Make a check mark on Character Map and apply all the changes.

Hope this information helps you, let us know!

Did you look in Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools?
