Start Menu Items keep disappearing.

My start menu items keep disappearing, I have done the trick where you move the icons into a folder and then move them back but that isn't a permanent fix as they keep disappearing at random again and again, is there any more permanent fix yet???

Are you using a cleaner program like CCleaner? It can remove them if you have the start menu shortcuts setting checked. Do you have these enabled?

No I'm talking about the all programs part.

It keeps messing up, I should have like 100 other program icons and folders in this but sometimes its completely empty or only shows a few and its getting really annoying.

edit: and now its back to this, a few minutes after doing the folder trick. wtf.

OH, easy solution , open start menu, right click, go properties, click ok, and they should be there

Limit the amount of folder to under 80, it's a bug in the 7100 build.
You will just have to catalog a few folders that are not essential.
Renaming or moving them out then back in is only very temporary.

Or download the 7127 build, it is supposedly been addressed in that.

And I thought I was going crazy!

I had Start menu items disappearing on me. Even things like Notepad or Microsoft Office. Happened on all my Windows 7 machines (one is 64-bit, another is 32-bit).
