    Hi AliBong, take the files & sub folders out of the main folder, delete it, re make it & put you items back.
    If I can't get into the folder how do I take the contents out?

    Right click on the "All Programs" button in the Start Menu.
    "Open" will take you to the current users Start menu folder and
    "Open All Users" opens the All Users Start menu folder.

    I think you'll find that c:\ProgramData\Start Menu isn't a folder. Its a link or shortcut put there for compatibility.

    No this does not work. I want to get to the folder that contains all the information in the list when I click on all programs like
    Office word 2007
    Excell 2007
    Acrobat pro x
    [Accessories]
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

    Works for me, all of what you listed above shows up.
    C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
    C:\Users\(You're user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
