When i install something in XP, it doesn't always show up in the start menu, even though it's supposed to

How can i fix this? It seems completely random whether or not it gets added to the start menu, and it's really annoying!
 
I'd bet my next paycheck it's not the OS's fault but rather the app's fault.

The OS doesn't determine what gets put on the start menu... if the app wants an entry in the Start menu, it has to create one. And if the app was written for win9x and didn't follow the rules it's supposed to follow, it might not work properly under XP.

Don't blame the OS for the app's poor behavior.
 
But that's the thing, i keep backups of all the programs on my backup drive. They appeared in the start menu on their own before when i reformatted, they just don't want to do it now. I purposely check "Add to start menu" but they still don't always appear.
