When setting up a new W-7 Pro computer with MS Office 2013 preloaded I dragged the MS Office 2013 suite from All Programs to my desktop. I want to get it back in All Programs. I've tried dragging and dropping and copy and paste but these do not do the trick. I need some step-by-step instructions on how to get all back to the original setting. Thanks.

- Do the files not copy or paste?
- Or do they appear to do so, only to disappear again later?
- Or do you mean that there is an error message?
- Or do you mean that when you do it, it copies, but then doesn't show on the start screen?
- Or do you mean something else entirely?
We need to know more about the challenge you are facing.

In the meantime, I would say to press Win+R, run shell:programs and drag the icons into the resulting folder window.
