Ramesh said:The Programs listing in the Start Menu is actually built from shortcuts from
the following locations:
%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs
and
%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs
Type the above paths in Start, Run and let us know if you're able to access
both the locations normally. If not, there is probably some problem in the
disk.
