Where is my uTorrent application within windows 7

I have recently done a fresh install of windows 7, overwriting Windows Vista on my laptop.

I then installed uTorrent V2.2 direct from the uTorrent website and everything seemed to be ok.

After installing other software applications & various windows updates i started to have problems with some of the software applications that i had installed. i then decided to revert my windows back to an earlier time to see if i could overcome the problems i was having and it seemed to work. I then re-installed uTorrent V2.2 but now the application does not show up in my start menu. i then checked my C: drive, program file and again no uTorrent. i then went to uninstall programs through my control panel and uTorrent isn't even listed as being installed. the only way i can get uTorrent to open is by clicking on the original installation file and the uTorrent opens and shows up in my system tray but no where else.

Anyone who know a way around this issue please let me know & thankyou in advance.

Regards

Cheers for the tips to all that replied. i did the required searches and found the folder with the utorrent contents. The folder was hidden and it was saved within C:Drive, Users, My own named folder, AppData (which is a hidden folder), Roaming, uTorrent. I then just deleted that folder and re-booted. I then went back to the uTorrent web site, re-downloaded the app and re-installed. The app now shows up in the places it should where it didn't before. Problem solved.

Thank you. That worked. Why doesn't it install in program files though? I ran into the problem where when I didn't install it with a desktop shortcut I run it without installing it again. That is, before I found your post on typing the run command. Thanks again.

Who knows why utorrent is NOT installed into c/program files or even askes when you install it as putting utorrent on you SSD drive is the WORST thing you can do with utorrent as it constantly writes to the drive. I've asked before and got a strange answer of 'Then why do skydrive and dropbox do it?

Oh that's right, to deal with UAC related issues when self-updating.'

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=130292 devs seem to think becuase others do something then its ok. And then close the topic so you cant ask them how is it that ALL the other programs installed on my PC manage to be able to auto update, OK rant over :D
