Hi

I seem to have lost the programs attached to the "all programs" tab on the
start menu. Can anyone help please?

First, login as Administrator (or equivalent) and execute this command from
Start, Run dialog:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Restart Windows. If that does not help....

then read the rest of the article.

I'm not sure what to do on the second part as |I am not a qualified user
really.

The first part did not fix and then I don't know how to assign the data. A
bit beyond me!!

See if this helps you any.

There is probably something in the shell folders messed up in your registry.

Try this.

You may also this REG fix to reset the User Shell Folders values to Windows
XP defaults, for the current user profile.

Click on this link to download shellfolders.reg.
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/shellfolders.reg

When the window pops up, click on Save.

Save shellfolders.reg to your Desktop or some where that you can find it
again.

Then double click on shellfolders.reg and click YES to prompt that pops up.

You may have to reboot, I do not know for sure. If your Start Menu isn't
right, then reboot.
