Unable To Pin To Start Menu
Can anyone help please.
All my programs pinned to the start menu have disappeared and I cannot pin anything there now!
Any ideas?
TIA,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
I know I am new here but still trust me!
Anyway, to confirm there is no malware involved, please scan your comouter using malwarebytes anti-malware. Follow directions here: How to use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to scan and remove malware from your computer
Also run the SFC file checker 3 times and post the last log file here once you have completed it for me. Follow the directions here: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Hello Paul ... I t sounds that Start Menu - Pin or Unpin a Program to is not working for you , right ?
If so, do what Tekno Venus suggested; run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker , it will try to resolve the issue automatically.
BTW ... do you use any third party system cleaner utility like TuneUp etc ?
Hello Paul,
In addition, check using the tutorial below to make sure that pinning to your Start Menu didn't get disabled somehow.

Hi,
Thanks for that, did Malwarebytes, no problems, sfc scannow found some problems, log attached.
The problem still remains though!

Ok, have you tried what Brink suggested?
This may seem incredibly obvious and stupid, but have you tried rebooting your system?! I have seen people post on here and vista forums that were eventually solved by the poster rebooting the system!
Paul,
In that case, you might see if using the tutorial below to reset the Start Menu pin to area to see if you may be able to pin programs to the Start Menu again afterwards. This will clear all items pinned to the Start Menu though.
