Guest Mahlon Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 When I add a folder and name it to the programs in start menu it stays there for a few days then it disappears. What is deleting it and what is the fix? Thank you. Mahlon

Guest Mahlon Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: Start menu No, the folder I add is not "pinned" in the window that opens when you click on "start". It is only added to the "programs" option when you click on "all programs". Im sure you know what I mean. Thank you.

If so, this thread suggests you copy the shortcuts to the "\All Users\Start Menu\Programs" folder so they're seen: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_thread/thread/2d4fb05acee16513/38827f7b0d8a6997?lnk=st&q=programs+disappear+from+start+menu#38827f7b0d8a6997 Also try these Kelly tweaks: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Line 31. (r-h column) Disable Changes Made to the Start Menu - Undo (If the Undo link works, I wonder if some malware is present and it imposed this restriction.) Line 117. Restore Taskbar and Start Menu Line 161. Hide Start Menu Subfolders - Undo (Try the "Undo" again) Line 165. Disable/Enable Start Menu Subfolders (Same thing, only different?) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm Scroll down to "Start Menu - Add Shortcuts To Start Menu". -- Joe =o)

What is deleting it and what is the fix? Hmmm, it sounds like Personalized Menus is on, except that from “All Programs” it sounds like you are using the XP Start Menu instead of the Classic Start Menu, but there only seems to be an interface to disable personalized menus for classic. -- Alec S. news/alec->synetech/cjb/net
