Reset to zero. What is your problem? Wordpad is an optional program with XP.
Is it installed on your system?
If you do a search does if find a shortcut you can click on?

Very simple:

expand.exe e:\i386\wordpad.ch_ c:\windows\help\wordpad.chm

To get help on commands such as expand.exe, type this at the
Command Prompt:
expand /?
