A while ago I placed the Disk Cleanup from the All Programs menu on my
Desktop to remind me to run the program ever so often but, I think, the
Desktop Wizard got rid of the Disk Cleanup icon and now I don't have an icon
nor is Disk Cleanup in the All Programs menu; probably because I Sent To the
desktop instead of Creating a Shortcut. I know I can still run Disk Cleanup
by using the Run Command cleanmgr.exe but would like to restore Disk Cleanup
to the All Programs menu under Accessories > System Tools. Is there a way to
do this? Thank you for your help. Jeff J

On your Start Menu, navigate to Accessories -> System Tools.
Right click on System Tools and select "Open All Users" from
the menu.
That should open this folder,

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools

In an open spot in the System Tools folder, right click and
select New -> Shortcut from the menu.
Enter the following in the location box,

%SystemRoot%\system32\cleanmgr.exe

Hit the Next button.
Name your new shortcut Disk Cleanup.
Hit the Finish button.

Good luck
