I can only access Movie Maker from the Help Support Menu. It is not located
in Start/Programs/Accessories. How can I get the program in my program files?
When I SEARCH for the the program, it doesn't show up.
Thank you

====================================
You should be able to launch Movie Maker by
going to Start / Run and enter..."moviemk.exe"

You might find the program listed at:
Start / All Programs / Windows Movie Maker

And the following instructions should help you
create a desktop shortcut if you need one:

Right click your Desktop and from the menu
....choose...New / Shortcut...

Enter...
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\moviemk.exe
Next / Finish...

Now you should see the Movie Maker icon on
your desktop.

Thanks, John. I can open the program from the run menu. However when I
attempted the shortcut, the error messages said that file could not be found.
Program also not in start/all programs

==============================
Just a thought...did you copy/paste to be
sure there were no typos in the path?

Ok...try this...go to...
C:\Program Files\Movie Maker...
Open the folder and right click the
moviemk.exe icon...and from the menu...
choose...Pin to Start Menu...
or...
Send To / Desktop (create shortcut).

Or...maybe moviemk.exe is in a different
folder on your system. Try doing a search
for moviemk.exe and see where you find it.

Start / Search / moviemk.exe
be sure the following boxes are checked:
Search System Folders
Search Hidden Files and Folders
Search subfolders

The entry you are seeking has an icon that
looks like a film reel.
