Your welcome Ninjai, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It could have been from something like a incompatible program doing it as a wrong function. I would check into anything that you did just before it happened as a possible cause.

Your welcome Ilgenfritz, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Usually, it is related to a incompatible program that caused it.

Great tutorial, this happened to me as well and have no idea what I did wrong. It just happened out of the blue.

Re: Start Menu - Restore Missing Default Shortcuts

Thanks a lot for this one. Tried to make a new user but didn't help with all files. I was to the point of using system restore and lose pretty much all my settings if it wasn't for this.
