    Start programs disappeared


    Nevermind. Too many programs in the Start Menu (hope they adjust this upwards for the release..)

    All of my program links under Start programs no longer appear. Any way to rebuild the listing? I see the links under Programs
    (ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu)

    Hey Tom

    Its a known problem when you get to 70 entries. If you search here at seven forums there is the thread and cure. the cure involves removing the items to a different folder then moving them back b ut check the thread

    I have the exact same problem right now on a 32 bit system but sincce I dont use the start menu much it doesn't bother me
