    I am not a guru, but when I want to see if a program is active, I go to the Control Panel and select "Programs" which will uninstall them but if they are there, then I search else where. Sorry if this sounds like a round-about way to find what you're looking for but it works for me.

    No, the original poster is not looking to see what's installed or to uninstall a program. He is trying to launch a program from the Start Menu.
