shortcut not in the start menu

[sarahnade]

I've installed Google talk on my Vista computer. In the start menu under all programs, there is a folder for Google talk, but the shortcut to the actual application isn't in there. Initially, I thought it may be a Google v Microsoft squabble, but the same thing happened when I installed Visual Studio.

Has anyone else noticed this problem? Maybe there's a setting I missed in the install?

The applications are there. I can find it and put a shortcut in the right place, but why should I do that if it's something that Vista should do for me?

You probably have two programs that perhaps are not fully compatible with Vista?

I use VS2005 and can confirm that the shortcut is indeed there.

When I reinstalled VS (for a different reason), the shortcut was there. So, I guess I just goofed it up.
