Finding My Business Publisher Celeste Stewart

I want to use a program (My Business Publisher) which I installed some time ago and cannot find. How can I find it please?

My Business Publisher

My Business Publisher was developed by a company called MySoftware. When visiting the MySoftware.com Web site in search of help, the page redirects to Avanquest software. To make it even more confusing, Avanquest’s technical support page lists dozens of MySoftware titles, but not My Business Publisher. So, getting solid information about the product hasn’t been easy.

Where is My Business Publisher?

While information was scarce, we can make an educated guess as to where the program is hanging out on your computer: the MySoftware folder. In looking at the help files for Avanquest’s other MySoftware products, most programs were installed into a program files folder named “MySoftware.” Hopefully this will be true of your My Business Publisher program too.

Click on Start > Programs and then scroll through the list of installed programs. You should see an icon or a folder labeled MySoftware. Click that and you should see an icon for starting the My Business Publisher program.

Searching for My Business Publisher

If this hunch is wrong, then we’ll need to try searching for the My Business Publisher program. We will do this in Windows Explorer. Go to the Start button and right-click it. Choose Explore from the menu. Navigate to the Program Files folder and click it. In the Search box, enter:

*.exe

This will show you all of the .exe files found in the Program Files folder. You’ll see dozens, if not hundreds of executable program files such as iexplore.exe for Internet Explorer and QuickTimePlayer.exe for the QuickTime Player. Executable files are the files that launch an application. Scroll through the list in search of a file that looks like it might be the My Business Publisher application. For example, a file named BizPub.exe or MyBizPub.exe would be likely candidates. If you think that you’ve found the correct .exe file, double-click the icon and launch the program.

If you do find it, make a note of its location or create a desktop shortcut for future use. You can make a shortcut by right-clicking the file and choosing Send To > Desktop.
