Where'd all my FSX Icons Go in Windows Vista?

[fighterpilot]

I just recently built a new machine and installed Windows Vista Home Premium.

After Vista was installed and running, first thing I did was switch to a Windows Classic setup - not sure if that has anything to do with my issue or not.

Being a flight sim nut I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition.

After everything installed, there are absolutely no FSX icons or folder in my Start menu. The game installed fine, just no shortcuts to anything. I even uninstalled and reinstalled with same issue. Is there somthing funky with Vista that I don't know about?

When installed on XP previously, it created all the shortcuts and everything just fine.

Thanks.

Did you check the games explorer?

Also...you can just start typing "flight sim..." in the start menu search bar.

Where is "Games Explorer" ? I have no "Games Explorer" anywhere.

All Programs>Games>Games Explorer ?

Not there?

What happens if you type "flight" in the start menu search?

No Games Explorer. Also have no start menu search because I switched to classic view. I guess I may have to live with Vista's new look.

Switched back to default Vista and everything shows up now. Oh well, time to move on I guess and get used to Vista's bells and whistles. Thanks for your help though!
