Program Shortcuts in Start Menu Missing? Bug?
I have Vista Premium, and all of a sudden without errors or any warning, most of my program shortcuts are missing. The programs are still installed, I can get to them using explorer. If I go to the Start Menu All Programs and I click on a folder it will have an "(empty)" if I hover over it, it has date created, which is the install date. Is this a Vista bug? I've read that others have had it happen, any fixes? I know I can replace them by going to the individual programs, but I don't feel like doing it 50 times, and what if it does it again... One step closer to going back to XP....

Thankyou, Mary, I tried all the different settings, but most of the shortcuts are missing. I looked in the startup folder and under each program folder the shortcuts are gone. Something removed them? Not all, but most. I'll use the start-search and see how that goes...Jake_Speed

Luckily, I had a backup of my whole hard drive, I restored the menus from that. I'm still trying to figure out what had removed them.
