Executing a Macro From a Desktop Icon
 
Is it possible to execute a Visual Basic macro from
somewhere other than, say, Excel (where I use them most) or
Word?

Depends on what they do. If they do lots of Excel (or Word) specific tasks,
it wouldn't seem to make sense using the macros without Excel (or Word). If
they do generic, OS-level things, it's likely you could translate them into
VBScript and run them via Windows Scripting Host.
