I was having a problem with my Windows XP Office Professional, so I deleted the program and then REINSTALLED it.

This is what has occured.  

1.From Internet Explorer, I cannot FIND where the program has installed.

2.I searched for Office, Word, Excel, but search cannot locate the program.

3.I maintained the short cut icons on my desktop, and when I click on them, the program opens.

4.When I right click on the icon, and select properties (to see where the program is) the area is "grayed out" no selection possible.

5.I have searched the start menu, I have even run"msconfig" but cannot find where the program is.

6.I opened "Control PANEL" and selected add/remove programs, and it does show that Office Pro is there.

7.I went to "start" "programs" and it is not there.

I can't think of any other place to look, the program is working but cannot be seen in Windows Explorer or anywhere else???\

  I wouldn't have a problem, unless you delete the icons. Try and look for the programs in the directory. Perfect Agent52   .....Well it should be in the path .......
C:\Programs\Microsoft office\Office10\Excel   or something similar ...... unless you directed it to some other folder .
