Execution Folder and Program?

I'm trying to verify the program and folder for some of my shortcuts,
but cannot seem to locate the proper information. In the past, when I
wanted to see where a program was being executing from, I would right
click on the icon and properties and I could see the link for the
program. But no more - where can I review that information?

Thanks
Charlie

Hmmm... that's strange. What version of Vista are you running? Are you
logged in as an administrator?

What /are/ you seeing?

Whenever I right-click a shortcut on my Start menu or desktop and select
Properties, I get the expected dialog.

I'm running Vista Home Premium - how do I tell if I am logged in as
administrator?

What I am seeing when I right click on the Icon is in on the desktop,
I am get the "open file location" option and can find the
folder/program the icon represents. But when I right click on an icon
on the Start/All Programs list, I do not get that option. By clicking
on properties, I get a box that provides info on the icon location,
but nothing about the folder/program. The following is available in
that box:

Open
Pin to Start Menu
Add to Quick Launch
Sen To
Cut Copy Delete
Rename
Properties

Thanks for the reply, Shawn,
But the Target item is blank.
