I don't know if this is the place to ask for help but I am getting desparate. Vista did an update last night and today all of my Start menu programs are gone. All of the programs I had pinned to the start menu have broken links.

What could have happened and how do I get it them back?

I uninstalled the updates and that did not help, I restored to the restore point just before the updates, that did not help.

Using Vista Home Premium 32

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
