Default oops I tweaked - All Programss Menu

Help - I tweaked my all Programs menu and now i need to fix it. Somehow i
removed some of the links from my All Programs menu and I can't remember how
I did it.

I went to some menu that allowed me to check/uncheck the program list - for
programs that I wanted to show/not show

What you used to check/uncheck Startup programs probably was the System
Configuration Utility. You activate it by typing "msconfig" [minus the
quotation markers] in a command prompt or Run box.

Nope that's not it - I have the start up menu - what I'm missing are the
program links under All Programs.

ideas anyone?

Have you tried a System Restore?

Have you looked in these two folders to see if they are still there?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Start Menu\Programs

If not you will probably have to manually recreate them all. :-(
