Vista - Unable to Locate Program Files in All Programs

I am unable to locate my program files in "All Programs". Microsoft and
others. Also unable to connect to help and support. Could this be a Vista
issue? I am able to access the programs, only if I open a previous file
created in that program.

Please let me know if you have experienced this problem and know how to
resolve without having to install all.

Hi Janet,

This will show you how to fix the "Help and Support" problem. Try the lower solution.

Help and Support in Vista


Are you able to open the programs from the .exe file in the "C:\Programs" folders? You might try downloading the "lnk" and "exe" fixes at this site. They will reset these file extension types back to the default settings. They will fix most shortcut or EXE file opening issues. Just click on them in the box to download them and follow the rest of the Usage instructions at the site.
