    Start Menu Folder Moved

    I was rearranging my Quick Launch icons and somehow managed to drag and drop
    my Start Menu folder onto my desktop. Don't ask me how I did it. Now it is
    using that folder to generate the Start Menu (instead of
    ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu). And in fact, I cannot delete or
    move the Start Menu folder on my desktop, but can delete the other instance I
    mentioned above. What I need to do is get it pulling the start menu data
    from the correct folder, and then delete the Start Menu folder on the desktop.



    Thanks for any help!

    Nevermind! I was able to "reset" it by switching between classic and vista
    styles.
