I just upgrade to XP from 98. Where are my desktop
icons? Do I have to go to each program's "exe" and drag
it to the desktop again? In 98 I had a large list of
programs listed in the Start menu under "Programs". Now,
in XP, I go to "All Programs" and there are only Windows
XP default (media player, explorer, outlook) programs
listed. How can I get my 98 program list back?

Gary,
Just a guess, but reinstall?
Like you do on new Operating Systems?
