Windows 8-Icon problems

Q

I just started using Windows 8 with a new computer I purchased. After watching the video about the start screen, I moved the icons for Word and Excel to the left side. Now they won't work. e.g. When I activate the Excel Icon it opens then I get a message that Windows has a problem and has to close. When I open an existing xls file via explorer, the same thing happens. I did the same with the internet icon and it brought me to the start tutorial. Did some signals get crossed? Before I moved the icons I tested all the Office applications and the worked fine. How do I fix this?
