I repaired Windows due to a glitch after a unexpected power failure. I then
updated Windows with the latest patches and hotfixes. When this was done, I
discovered some of the shortcuts in the Start Menu not longer works.
I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling the affected programs. When I
clicked on "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel, nothing happened. There
was no error message.
I checked and found the file appwiz.cpl in c:\windows\system32\, in case it
got deleted. I copied the file from another working Windows installation. I
tried starting the program manually using Run but still nothing happened. I
even tried running it from Task Manager with the same result.
