Lost Start Menu Programs

[Guest]

Hi all, I installed a shareware program which I subsequently uninstalled.
Unfortunately, after uninstalling the program, it had wiped out the programs
on the Start menu. The ones that are added to it as you sue them.

Any help in restoring them would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug in Maryland

Hi Doug,

Use them again. That key is binary.
What was the name of the program? That asked, first I've heard of an
uninstall removing this key.

More info, there is a Policy that Removes frequent programs list from the
Start Menu

Description:Removes the frequently-used programs list from the Start menu.
Registry Value:"NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList"
