Works 6: Works Calendar Does Not Appear on Start Menu

When you click Start, point to Programs, and then click Microsoft Works, Works Calendar may be missing from the Microsoft Windows Start menu.

You can still start Microsoft Works Calendar from the Works Task Launcher and it works as expected.

This problem can occur if Home Publishing 2000 is installed on the same computer as Works, and you then remove Home Publishing 2000 from your computer.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.

6. In the Select Program Folder dialog box, select Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Works, and then click Next.
