I dragged a prog off "start|all programs" to the desktop and it became a shortcut. Can I move it from the desktop back to the "start|all programs" again and forget the desktop shortcut?

Yes.

All the items in the All Programs menu are shortcut links to the actual file that runs the program.

What you did, was move the shortcut form the All Programs menu to your desktop.

If you desire that a particular program be on both the Desktop and the All Programs menu, right click on the shortcut and select copy.
Move to the menu or desktop, right click and select paste. Now the shortcut will be in both places.

You can also drag items around the All Programs menu to place them in the order you desire.
