RE: No shortcut in Start - Programs folder on Windows 7

I still cannot get the program icon to show up in Windows Explorer under

programs. I am running Windows 7, 64-bit:

The program icon is placed on your computer desktop. It is a lime green and red icon. What you attached is a listing in your computer folder, not your programs folder.

You are correct! But all my other programs' icons show up in my computer
folder, and I can open them directly from the computer folder. Why is it
not doing so this time around in upgrading to the 2011 version of your
program?

For example:

Notice the other icons showing up when two other folders are opened.

FINAL SOLUTION:

Called George and the issue is that there is no shortcut in the Start menu Programs folder for Retirement Savings Planner. We need to enter a bug ticket to see if it is a bug in the installer for the personal edition.

Meanwhile, we created a shortcut to the program, then went and pasted it into the proper location on his computer.

For Windows 7 the proper location for the Global / All users Start Menu is located at:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

He then found the Retirement Savings Planner folder. Pasted the shortcut in there.

And finally renamed the shortcut "Retirement Planner Program".

George then clicked on the Start menu - Programs - Retirement Savings Planner and confirmed that the shortcut was there and that it indeed worked correctly to start up the software.
