Sorry if this duplicates
Not showing up the day after 1st posted.

------------------------------------------

I'm using Vista Ultimate

I seem to be missing most (if not all) of the links in the start menu for
any of the windows components like

Windows media player
Windows media center
Windows movie maker
etc
It does show the normal folders i.e. Accessories, Admin tools etc and their
contents seen to be OK
But there are NO single links at the end of the folder list as normal.
There are 3 users and all are the same.

Anyone else had similar or know of a fix?
TIA
Billy

missing it's default shortcuts
