Quick and Simple Steps to Perform Start Menu Repair
The Start Menu is an important feature in Windows Vista and indeed all Windows Operating Systems. The feature supports searches, program launches, and system configuration. There are several problems involving the Start Menu, but if you are a novice, you can get in touch with a remote pc repair company or remote pc support professional such as fixit99.com to resolve them. You have to be the system’s administrator to perform these repairs. You will need to modify your computer’s registry to take care of most Start Menu problems. However, note that if you damage the registry, your system might be rendered unbootable. For this reason, you must take a backup of your registry before any modification.
Empty ‘All Programs’ menu
One Start Menu problem is an empty ‘All Programs’ menu. To fix this problem, simply run the computer’s regsvr32 /i shell32.dll command. After this, restart the computer for the changes to take effect. If the links to your programs are still not visible after a restart, check the Shell Folder data in the computer’s registry. To access the Registry Editor, run the regedit.exe command. Check the entries under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ExplorerUserShellFolders and make sure you find %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs value data under the value name Programs and %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu under Start Menu. If an expandable string is missing, simply add it and restart the computer.
