dragged program to desktop, how do you put it back

[redgaz26]

hi everyone im new to window 7 and widows altogether, been into mac osx mostly.
anyway I have windows 7 and really like it but theres something im confused about.
I dragged a program by mistake from the start menu to the desktop but I want to put it back and do not know how to do this.
when you open up explorer theirs no program menu i can see, I know about add and remove programs but i simply want to put the program back where it was??

Right click the icon and check if there's a "Pin to start Menu" Option. I've seen it a lot on my Windows 7 computer, although right now I'm on the Vista one so I can't verify right now.

Try dragging the icon to the start button and dropping it there.

Click rb:, right click All Programs and choose Open All Users. Start menu programs are stored here in Programs folder. Copy your shortcut here to show it in the Start Menu.

Everything you want to have in your Start Menu should be placed in the folder I told you. It's no difference if it is a folder, a program or a shortcut. Just copy or move the Works icon to that folder and it's back where you want it.
