Default want to see location where program is installed

As far as I can tell, Control Panel Programs Programs and features
displays info such as name, publisher, installed on size and version.
I do not see any path to where it is actually installed. The bottom
pane gives info such as contact data.

I wish to identify the exact path to the installed program. Is there a
way to do so within Windows? Or will it require a third party s/w to
do so and if so, recommendations?


Do you have a start Menu? If so, right-click on a program shortcut
and select Properties. The Target box in Properties usually contains
the full path to the executable program. (I say "usually" because MS
Office programs do _not_ show the location.)

If you don't have a Start Menu and don't want one, disregard this
reply. if you do want a Windows 7-style Start Menu, download and
install a free program such as Classic Shell, and then you will. :-)
