    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

    Programs on second hard drive on start menu

    Hi. I have a 30GB SSD that contains only Win 7, Chrome, Mediamonkey, and a temp monitor.
    All the other programs are on a hard drive.

    How can I make them appear under the program files on start menu and be searchable through the start menu?

    Thanks!

    Hi Douglas, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

    Do you mean you're looking for the Program Files folders? If so, here are the steps to find them:

    - Press Windows Key+E to open File Explorer, or type "This PC" into Start and select the first result.

    - Double click on your C: Drive.

    - In the C: Drive you should find the Program Files and Program File (x86) folders.

    Let me know if you need further support! Thanks!
