Not sure if this will help, but there is a difference between where the links to the apps are, and where the apps themselves are.

Your start menu is stored in several places. Right-click on the Start button and click on Explore. The main list of apps is stored in Documents and Settings->All Users->Start Programs. Any specific programs that you install for your ID may be stored in Documents and Settings->your userid->Start Menu->Programs.

The Windows apps themselves are stored in Windows->System32. Paint is mspaint.exe. Calc is calc.exe.

Yes, I knew they were somewhere but the only one I could find in the system 32 file was Spider. No other games (solitare, freecell, hearts, etc.) nor could I find Paint although I can access it by doing a Run. Any idea how to move Spider and Paint back to the Accessibility in the Start Menu?

I had no luck with your calculator title (calc.exe or any variation) or with the previous poster’s. I can’t locate it in the system 32 folder either.

If anyone can help with Record Now since it’s “for the children”, ya know.
