How can I see "All programs" ?
I have some programs installed and I can see their folders in windows explorer
and in my C drive, but when I open " All programs" from the start menu , they are not there. What I need to do so I can see all my installed programs when I open the Start/All programs menu?

I have sort of the same problem, Shenan, but it's the physical format of he screen when I click on"All Programs"......I see all the programs in two columns of identified little icons to click on, plus a third column where I can only just barely see their icons and can't tell which icon is for what program. I'd love to reformat them into more coumns or somehow get them all into the window........

I found where the Start Menus are; now I have to figure out how to do as you suggest.

I read both URLs and quickly and easily learned what to do. Now I have half as many icons cluttering up my desktop, only one and a half columns of items in my Start Menu, and several of those open up to sets of more or less related programs now grouped for easy selection. Wish I'd asked a coupla years agO!!
