Glad you fixed it on your own, that also happened with my
computer,... it happened to be only the shortcuts were missing
in the Start Menu, all games were where they should be,
but Pinball also gave me some trouble to find... it turned out
I had been looking in the wrong place, finally found it in;
C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball...

regards.
