No accessories in start tab, & libraries folder mucked
I do not have Accessories thing in my start menu, anyone know how I can get it back?
I have tried copying the folder over from another computer but it says something about merging and even after merging there is nothing there. I managed to copy the accessories folder from this computer to the start menu before but it opened like a normal folder and didnt expand, and it didn't contain paint, defrag, etc. I don't know what to do. Please help. Also, whenever I click on documents, then libraries on the left, it expands to show documents pictures music video But when I click on the actual libraries icon, it is all empty on the right hand side and I am sure there was stufff there before. You see, before this, nothing at all turned up when I clicked on libraries, there wasnt even anything when I expanded, but I managed to get the 4 things listed above to show up when I expanded the libraries folder. But I want it like it was before I would GREATLY appreciate your help. |

is it tht you dont have accessories in all programs list or is your all programs blank if in tht case than you can do the following step:
Type the following text into the Value data field exactly as follows: %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu Click OK and then click the minus sign (- ) next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the left pane. Click the plus sign (+ ) next to each of the following registry keys:
Double-click the Common Start Menu value in the right pane. Type the following text into the Value data field exactly as follows: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu Double-click the Common Programs value in the right pane. Type the following text into the Value data field exactly as follows: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs Close the registry and restart the PC. The All Programs menu should now list software. |

I now have to do a search to find disk clean-up and paint, etc. Could you please help me get the whole thing back? As for the Missing folders when i actually click on Libraries, here's a picture: ![]() |
