I thought the answer was on this site, but it may very well have been on the old Elements Village site (may she rest in peace)
Anyhow, someone explained the necessary steps and I have forgotten just what I did.
What I am wanting = on this computer, the original/old one, I have two separate Elements icons on the task bar that remain there; one is the organizer and the other is the editor; very handy and the only way to ever see the welcome window is to open it from the desk-top icon.
What I have on the new computer = a single icon on the task bar that brings up the welcome window when opening Elements; switching from organizer to editor and back must be done by clicking the appropriate button at top right of each window and only the single icon remains on the task bar.
What is the procedure to fix the new like the old ?
Thanks.

You need to create shortcuts to launch both the Organizer and the Editor directly.
1. Navigate the paths below to the appropriate .exe file. 2. Right-click on the .exe file and select Send to>Desktop (create shortcut).
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe |

Thanks, Sepiana, I honestly don't know what I would do without you; a lot less stuff in Elements, that's for sure.

Well..........,
I had to skin that cat with a different knife.
When I typed in the entire address you provided and hit "enter", it would immediately open that portion of Elements.
I tried two or three different tactics, each resulting in either the editor or the organizer opening.
So, after some serious head-scratching, I right-clicked the desk-top icon, the one that always starts with the welcome window, under the "general" tab I clicked "show in location folder"; this opened a folder with many many photoshop files; I scrolled around until I found a title that said ___Organizer.exe, right-clicked on that title, and clicked "pin to task bar"; I did the same for ___Editor.exe.
Now all is well and I am happy.
I wouldn't have known where to start without your help.

You are most welcome! Glad to hear all is well now.
I am just adding some clarification to my earlier instructions to create a shortcut to the Editor and the Organizer for the benefit of anyone following this thread.
You need to navigate the path to the appropriate .exe file.
1. Start>Computer. 2. Click on the C: drive. 3. Scroll down to the folder named "Program Files (x86)" and click on it. 4. Keep following the path until you get to the Organizer and the Editor .exe file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
5. Once you locate the .exe folder you need, right-click on it, and select Send to>Desktop (create shortcut).
NOTE: Click on image for larger size.
