the start menu when i go to my programs. how do i get them easier access
than having to go to my computer and opening my c drive?

Open the Start|All Programs menu, right-click it and select "Create
Shortcut".

When you run an installer for a program, you often get the option (but not
always) to place a shortcut in your start menu, via a small check box. There
is sometimes also an entry in the options / preferences menus for an
application to do the same.

They may simply have got mixed up a bit, so you could also try
right-clicking an entry in the menu > Sort by Name

I answered this question when you posted it earlier today. Did you read the
answer? If it didn't satisfy you, reply to the original thread and explain
why. Don't start a new thread.

Start by not annoying people by asking the same thing repeatedly. Email and
news is not instant. You should wait four days before assuming a news
article or email did not reach it's destination unless informed otherwise
with a bounce, replies, or confused "why haven't you answered my email
yet?" phone call.
