Where'd all my FSX Icons Go in Windows Vista?

I just recently built a new machine and installed Windows Vista Home Premium.

After Vista was installed and running, first thing I did was switch to a Windows Classic setup - not sure if that has anything to do with my issue or not.

Being a flight sim nut I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition.

After everything installed, there are absolutely no FSX icons or folder in my Start menu. The game installed fine, just no shortcuts to anything. I even uninstalled and reinstalled with same issue. Is there somthing funky with Vista that I don't know about?

When installed on XP previously, it created all the shortcuts and everything just fine.

Thanks.

All Programs>Games>Games Explorer ?

Not there?

What happens if you type "flight" in the start menu search?
 
No Games Explorer. Also have no start menu search because I switched to classic view. I guess I may have to live with Vista's new look.
 
Switched back to default Vista and everything shows up now. Oh well, time to move on I guess and get used to Vista's bells and whistles. Thanks for your help though!
