Programs on Start Bar

[Sandy G]

In my Windows Vista, when I click on the Start bar, all of the programs I
have installed are gone. I tried clicking to make it a classic start bar
like in Windows XP Pro, but that didn't help either. I'm wondering if they
disappeared when I loaded SP1. Can anyone tell me how to get my programs
back on the start bar? I take them off my desktop so I can't access them.

"Start Bar"....do you mean the Start menu? or the Quick Launch Tool bar?

To show the Quick Launch tool bar, right click a blank area of the task bar
(what you call the "start bar"). Then choose "Toolbars" and "Quick Launch".

Not everything will be there unless installer programs offer to put a short
cut there, or you add shortcuts yourself.
