Missing Progam Name in Start/All Programs


My desktip pc's os is Windows Vista Home Basic.

I installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007.
The program name Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 is shown both under
Start/All Programs list and also Start/Control Panel/Programs.

I click on Start/All Programs and drag Microsoft Office Home and Student
2007 to the desk to create shortcut. Later I find Microsoft Office Home and
Student 2007 program name has disappeared from Start/All Programs list. Then
I know I make a mistake.

I double check Start/Control Panel/Programs, and see the Microsoft Office
Home and Student 2007 remains there. A kind of releif.

How do I add back Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 in Start/All
Programs list ?

Thanks

Hi,

Copy the icons on the desktop back to this directory:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

Simply right click them and select copy, then open Windows Explorer to the
above folder. Locate the Office folder and open (double click) it, then
click edit/paste.

Re: Missing Progam Name in Start/All Programs

Hi Rick,

I see Windows Explorer after typing Windows Explorer in Start Search. After
clicking Windows Explorer, my Documents page opens. I only see My Downloads,
My received Files, and My sharing Folders.
I do not see Office folder and where can I find it.
Kindly advise.
