When you do a drag and drop from the start menu to the desktop,
the shortcuts disappear from the start menu because dragging
anything from one location to another location *on the same
drive* is a move (cut and paste), not a copy and paste. To
copy and paste (leave the original file behind), you need
to hold the <Ctrl> key during the drag.

If you're doing a Search from the Start menu for files
used in defraging a drive, you may need to explicitly tell
the XP search window to display hidden files. (I suspect that
files that are used to defrag drives in XP are hidden files.
I can't verify this now because I'm not running XP here.)
