there's also an article here about policy & the Start Menu list.
But that won't be the prob unless you're using XP Professional,
but you can check & see it those registry keys have been altered.

too bad Balamm's not around...he prolly knows.

worse case system restore if you like and make sure you don't check that tweak

Why not just "open" about six applications and allow them to become naturally affixed to the menu?

If that does not work- then hell, your fucked.

Did you wipe them with Windows Washer or Spybot ?
easily done

Before that happened I used TweakXP and Spybot[/b][/quote]
In TweakXP go to windows tweaks>windows tweaks I, and uncheck "hide favorites"

Tweak XP creates a new subkey to turn this off/on called "StartMenuFavorites" at
HKCU&#092;Software&#092;Microsoft&#092;Windows&#092;CurrentVersion&#092;Explorer&#092;Advanced

Edit: Sorry, this creates a favorites icon on the start menu and not the frequently used programs list.

That registry key doesn&#39;t exsist

I have the same problem but as yet it is unsolved.

Look here for my problem.

I have tried the same things as you kiler but nothing worked.

Have you also noticed that on the Start Menu the grey line that used to seperate the commonly used programs and pinned items is at the bottom of the menu now.I&#39;m sure this has something to do with it.

BTW I have that registry key but changing it hasn&#39;t helped.

Just go for creating a new profile for yourself....

But apart from this problem there is nothing wrong with my account so I don&#39;t really want to set up another one.

Also I&#39;m sure that we&#39;ll find a solution soon and I&#39;d rather (if possible) fix the problem like that.

Welp.. My problem is just the commonly used shortcuts.. your&#39;s is EVERYTHING&#33;&#33; I think that it&#39;s something in the registry.
