I was following the instructions as outlined on my laptop which has Windows Vista.  I couldn't find MSNexe.  I found MSNcc.exe ... but that didn't produce any Butterfly.  I followed the instructions to unhide data, but it did not produce MSN.exe.  When I typed in MSN.exe in search, only MSNcc.exe came up.  Any others to get the icon shortcut on the desktop?

i think that the correct command is: "msn.exe", or only "msn", and Run.
