Program Listing in Start Menu

Hi.

I am running Vista Home Premuim and I have a problem with my newly installed
programs not showing up in the Start>All Programs. I do make sure to allow
the install software to create the folder/shortcut in the start menu when
installing but it fails to be there about 50% or more of the time.

This is happening in a wide range of software, nothing specific. Games,
Office Utils., you name it.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, a relog / reboot doesn't fix it.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know why your recently installed programs don't show up on the
Start>All Programs menu list but you can drag either the program folder or a
shortcut icon of the program directly to the Start>All Programs list. Click
on your program's folder or shortcut icon, drag to Start button, start menu
opens up, drag icon onto All Programs, list opens, drag and drop icon on the
list.
