Restore Missing Windows Update Link
Microsoft has made available to all Windows users, a web site that provides Updates to its Operating Systems. By default, a link is provided in the Start Menu. If for some reason you have removed this link or it has just mysteriously disappeared, then here is a simple method to recover this link to your Start Menu: Here is the address to the Windows Update website: windowsupdate.Microsoft.com
On the above link, point your mouse directly over the Windows Update link. While holding your mouse over the link, left-click the link and keep the left button depressed. While continuing to hold the left mouse button down, mouse over the Start Menu and wait a moment for the menu to expand. Once the menu has expanded vertically, continue holding down the left mouse button and mouse over the "All Programs" button. The All Programs menu will also expand. Once the All Programs menu has expanded, slide the mouse pointer up the programs menu until you have chosen a location within the menu for your link to reside (you should see a black horizontal line while you're moving your pointer around in the programs menu). Once you've chosen the location for your link, remove your finger from the left-click button and the link will now pop into place. You can right click the newly placed link and rename it "Windows Update" or just leave it as is. Now, you can left click the link again and hold the left click button depressed while sliding the mouse pointer into the Start Menu area (you should again see a black horizontal line while you're moving your pointer around in the Start Menu). Once you have chosen a location within the Start Menu for your link to reside, just lift your finger from the left-click button and again, the link will pop into place. Congrats! You've just added the Windows Update URL to your Start Menu.
