Start Menu Items Dissapearing

Have been using Vista Home Premium 32 for about a couple of months.
Noticed in the last few days that when i click on the start button and
then all programs, that a bunch of the program items are gone. Most of
the windows related items, like Windows Calender, Windows Defender,
Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Center, Windows Movie Maker, Windows
Photo Gallery and other items, like HP total care advisor, that were
there last week are no longer there. I can use exlorere and locate them
and add/pin them back, but why were they removed? TIA.

Can you do a System Restore to a point in time before this happened?
