Thanks a lot,

Not that didn't help what I have been looking for.

If you mean with this:

'

This is what has been added after pasting it on desktop.

It is not a shortcut at all.

Also, I have tired sending it as shortcute to Desktop, but it was a shortcut folder

But this is not what I have bee looking for.

If you have a look at the screenshot posted in my very first post, you will see that the icon of MS office 2010 is different and it isn't like a shortcut folder like what I have now.

I, myself, don't think the windows shortcut desktop of MS 2010 suites didn't appear on the desktop after installing MS 2010 due to problem in installing or uninstalling.

I have removed the MS 2010 with Revo Uninstaller Pro and removed all leftovers of it. Then I installed it again. But the shortcut didn't appear as well.

NOTE: I don't the disc, however, I have installed from Virtual Clone driver since I have MS 2010 as an ISO file.

Besides, I have run the  Microsoft Fixit tool Uninstall the MS 2010, and then re installed it. But no shortcut has been added as well.

Hi,

Create a new Windows user account and check if it helps.

Refer to the following link for more information on creating new Windows user account.

Remove and reinstall the Office in the new Windows user account and check.

Thank you.

I believe you could create a shortcut to the Microsoft Folder onto your desktop as well. 

Worst case scenerio (if you do not want to uninstall and reinstall the program) you could create a folder and copy shortcuts to the applications into it. 

The one in the image appears to be a shortcut to that path - Which is my preferred method. 

To create a shortcut just right click > New > Shortcut and paste the path into there so in your example:  ****\Windows\Start menu \ Programs \ Microsoft 

@Guruprasad Ra;

When you crack walnuts, do you use a sledgehammer or a battering ram? Why on earth would you advocate the uninstallation and complete reinstallation (and subsequent service packs and Office updates) of Office 2010 in order to create a simple desktop shortcut?
