Restoring programs to All Programs

[Guest]

Hi there,
I moved some programs from the All Programs menu to desktop and now I want
them back in the menu. I know I should have created shortcuts instead and
moved those. I have two of each icon now on my desktop.

How do I get them back so that the other user of my computer can also see
them in his All Programs menu???? Thanks

Right click the start button and select Explore All Users. Windows Explorer
will open with the focus on the All Users start menu folders. This folder
structure holds the shortcuts that appear on everyone's start menus. Drag
and drop the desktop shortcuts into the specific start menu folder that you
want it to appear in.

Hi Ritva,

Right click on the Start button and select Explore.
Under Start Menu expand Programs and drag the shortcut icon back to
there original location.
