Moving folder from desktop to start/programs

The games folder somehow got moved from the start/programs to the desktop.  I would like to move it back but for the life of me cannot figure out how.  If I try to get the start/programs area displayed and then try to drag the folder to it, it immediately dissapears.  Does anyone have a solution?

    sekoorb,

    Open the desktop folder that contains the games folder. Right-click the folder and select "Cut." Scroll down to Start Menu|Programs. Right-click the Programs folder and select "Paste."

    Denny,
     
    This doesn't seem to work for me or I do not follow your suggestions.  I right clicked on the games file folder on the desktop and selected copy.  I didn't want to select cut just yet for fear of loosing the games folder all together.  I then selected Start and right clicked on Programs.  Paste is not an option.  Any other ideas?
    Thanks

    sekoorb,

    Once you "Copy" the folder open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs. Right-click the Programs folder and "Paste."

    Another solution would be to drag the games folder and hold it over the start button.  It should open.  Then hold it over the "all programs" and then drag it to the menu.  I should warn you it takes a little finesse.
