From: Natis Kyriakou on 21 Jun 2010 13:22 I have some programs installed and I can see their folders in windows explorer and in my C drive, but when I open " All programs" from the start menu , they are not there. What I need to do so I can see all my installed programs when I open the Start/All programs menu?

Put their shortcuts in the folder structure that is e ither your Start Menu or the All Users Start Menu. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I'd love to reformat them into more coumns or somehow get them all into the window........

Similar thing - make sub-folders as needed in the All Users' Start Menu and your Start Menu. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
