XP Home Start Menu

Just look at the screenshot I've attached below... it pretty much sums it up....

(Win XP Home SP2 - lots of malware removed but the system is clean now, just trying to repair the last few items)

THANKS!

 

Nice screenshot. LOL

 

Whooops.... kids, stay away from the beers... roflmao

Here it is:

 

I thought I might be some help, but there aren't any settings that I know of to cause that.
You've tried SFC and a repair install?

 

No, I haven't tried the repair install yet... kind of a last option... I was hoping it was just something I was overlooking in the right-click-select-Properties-select-Customize settings, but I guess not. :cry

 

The OS is XP MCE and I didn't have an install CD on hand so running SFC was kind of pointless.... will try it tomorrow (if I remember to bring the freekin' CD)!

 

Go to Start>run>type gpedit.msc>find User configuration>Administrative templates>Start menu and Taskbar,find the problem and modify.

 

Thanks Goran! I'll try it and let you know what happens.....
:-D

 

:celebrate :highfive :drink :dancer
GORAN P....... YOU FREEKIN' ROCK!!!!! :dood
Thanks for the tip, it worked perfectly! Once I found the correct settings, I noticed that having some of the options set as 'Not Configured' (which is the default) is basically the same as disabled, but with other settings, 'Not Configured' is the same as selecting it to be enabled. For example: one of the settings is for "Remove 'All Programs' from Start menu" and when set for Not Configured, it doesn't do anything, so it had to be disabled in this situation.... anyway- THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Ok Geeks...how many of you found yourself checking this out and then making some tweaks and personalizations?

:hyper:clap:dancer

I got excited!!!

 

Me too! I saved the instructions and used the thanks button hours ago. I'm sure we're not the only ones.

 

gpedit.msc is a powerful, yet little known tool. I had no idea you could remove (or make reappear) those items in the Start Menu... that's crazy!

 

Glad that I can help you!!!:wave
When I saw your post and from other guys I felt like I win Nobel Freeking Prize.:-D:major
That is why I want to be MJ FOREVER!!!!!!
