If you find no way to launch any program as you cannot see the application launcher short-cut neither on desk top nor on start menu (all programs), then you need to watch this video.
In this video i have shown how to get Application launcher shortcuts on your desktop, when they are missing from almost everywhere.
This video was created in hurry and is focused only on MS office shortcut icon as one of my youtube contacts was facing this problem with his Office products.Hence i focused on Office to make easy for him to understand.But this will work for all programs including web browsers.
