OK, so the combination of Open Rocket being something slightly different than a "Program" and the fact that in my hands the Windows 7 search capabilities are somewhat limited, I can't locate and open my copy of Open Rocket. It has been a couple of months since I used it, and any search finds too many other rocket-related files so I never find Open Rocket. Can someone tell me where it resides on your computer, or some other way I might track it down? I promise I will put a shortcut on my desktop, if possible.
Thanks!

Uhh, you'd be best off searching "My Documents" or Downloads or whatever Windows has for the OpenRocket file.

Then, move the file itself to your desktop: don't make a shortcut.
 
Assuming you have the latest release, you are looking for this file: OpenRocket-14.06.jar
 
Open explorer and search in the top right.

.jar*

It'll search for all jar files, program's anything and all for Java. You will 100% find it this way.

This way is incase you've renamed or accidentally changed the name of the program.
