After automatically installing Windows Update KB898461 on 6/29/05 and
restarting XP I got a message like "The Registry was corrupted during install
process...Restoring previous successful registry....process successful. (Not
in those exact words)
Then I opened the Start Menu. It looks the same, but when I hover over or
click All Programs or any other submenu they don't appear. I had Control
Panel set up as a submenu but when I clicked it it appeared in category view.
I also can't view all my Quick Launch folders as submenus...they appear in
Explorer mode as well.
I right-clicked Start/Explore All Users and the subfolders and shortcuts I
had before are all still on the hard drive, they just don't show up.
I went to Windows Update site and viewed my update history, then clicked on
this update and it said I could uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs, but
it's not listed there. How can I get my Startmenu back?
