Help Please With Flight Simulator X.

Hello everyone, I have installed FSX on my new laptop,(Vista), and even played the game for an hour. However, when I closed the programme, and tried to go back on I couldn't find it anywhere. I thought it very odd that after installation and registration there was no short cut icon on my desktop, and neither is it in "Microsoft Games"

One other odd thing is that the programme shows up when I look for it on the remove programmes facility, therefore it must be on my computer somewhere. Could someone please tell me what else I could try, It's driving me MAD?

I have installed FS9 without any problems at all!
