It's in the main start menu for me. (Calculator)

I keep one on mine, just haven't tried to post my screen. I use it alot in SE IV. So much that I keep a second calculator next to my computer In case I need to do several things at once. Supper useful when dealing with QNP mods to squeeze that last movement point from colony ships without running out of supplies.

I'm amazed that nobody has a shortcut or a quicklaunch to a calculator of any kind. Maybe it's just me but at least daily I do a calculation of some kind or another for some reason, frequently during SEIV games too. Normally not worth busting out the old HP, it but sure beats start/programs/accessories/calculator every time...

My keyboard has a calculator shortcut button right on it. I use that all the time. Before that, I use to have a shortcut on my desktop.

I have one of the programmable keys on my keyboard set to a calculator, so there is never any need to go to the desktop to open it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

There are some nice desktops here.

Here is mine. It is still going through some modifications. Along with the menus on top, I have pop-out menus on each side of my screen to access even more programs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Mine's the same.

Whew! I thought I might be the only calculator geek on this forum. That's a relief.

Well, my keyboard also has a calc key, a mail key, a My Computer key, browser keys (back, forward, stop, refresh, home) and a fully outfitted media player control pad (complete with volume control, mute button, and a button to boot up the player). Unfortunately, they'll only work under XP and I'm stuck with 98 SE. Well, only for a few more weeks at most now, so..... I don't think I'll be using the calc key much, though.

On this computer (the Apple), I just do F12 and use the calculator in Dashboard. For the windows computers, I just do Win+R, calc, return.

The Apple desktop right now is kinda boring... not much there... unless you do what I did for the second one...
