Vista does store and change the frequently used programs list on the start
menu when I use programs. However if i restart or turn my computer on and off
again then the items in the menu are reset to the default - Welcome Center,
Media Center, Ultimate extras, media player, photo gallery, dvd maker etc.
 
Hi James,

Start Menu pops up at every logon, and the Most Frequently Used programs list is reset everytime:

For Windows Vista, set the StartMenuInit value data as 3.
