Sorry, I still am unsure what you want to do. There are several ways to
make it easily available, one is to put an icon on the desktop. If you
want to see it when the user clicks start, click start, choose the games
folder from the all programs thingy, right click on bejewelled and select
pin to start menu. Try that and see if you like it. If you don't right
click it and select unpin from start menu.
When you click on start, the grey thing that pops up has a vertical dividing
line, and in the right hand side, one of the items is probably games. If
you click that, one of the listed games will be bejewelled. If that is what
you want but 'games' is not there, or bejewelled is not shown, post again
and I or somebody else will tell you how to deal with that.
While trying those things, you will notice another way as well. One of the
options on right clicking bejewelled in the start menu is 'pin to taskbar'.
If you do that it will appear as a little box on the actual bar and you
won't have to click on the start button.
I suggest therefore trying all those things and see which you like best.
