To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods.

2. Double-click Taskbar and Start Menu.
3. Click the Start Menu tab, and then click Customize.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then in the Start menu items list, click Display on the All Programs menu under System Administrative Tools.
5. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft SharePoint Administrator.

Method 2: Create a New MMC File

To create a new MMC file to administer the Web, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type mmc, and then click OK.
3. On the Console menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.
4. Click Add.
