Missing RDC from accessories in Vista Ultimate

[Luvsql]

I've been googling this and cannot find a solution. I had to recreate my local profie and now under Start > Programs > Accessories there is no communications and no RDC. I've enabled RDC, but don't want anyone to connect to my PC so I've made the adjustments in remote settings window but where is the shortcut to run it?

If Vista is the same as Win7 (I don't' remember, b/c I just don't recall trying with Vista), all you have to do is find the computer you want to connect to under Network, right-click on it, and select connect via Remote Desktop...

Something like that, I forget the exact wording.

I use RDC to connect to remote servers so they won't be listed in my Network.

And have you tried this route?

Tip

To find the Remote Desktop Connection shortcut, click the Start button Picture of the Start button, click All Programs or Programs, and then click Accessories. To quickly open Remote Desktop Connection, open the Start menu, and then type mstsc in the Search box.

What have you got listed in these locations?

C:\Users\usernamexxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories

For all the users to see the shortcut it should be listed in the ProgramData path.

You could manually copy the missing shortcuts and paste them. Is there any problem with access permissions to either location, or are you hiding user folders?

Is Communications an actual Windows folder in Vista or is that a (distant) memory from an older operating system? There is nothing to stop you creating such a folder if you want to.
