Recent install not showing up in program list

I just recently built a new system, and have been slowly adding my games to
new computer. My question is, why are some of my programs showing up in the
program list and others not. For instance, when I click on all programs,
Novalogic and Lucas Arts are there but Sierra and THQ are not. Is there some
option I can selest to show these folders in start menu, or is this a quirk
of Vista. By the way, in case it's not obvious, I'm new to Vista.

Where the icons are put is chosen by the installer program, not by Vista.

Do you have an option during setup to indicate where you would like the
installer to place the applications?
