I tried system restore and recuva but nothing changed| Please help If you do not have them in the Recycle Bin to restore from, then this tutorial will help you to restore the default Start Menu shortcuts. You will still need to manually create new shortcuts for your programs though from their exe files to have them in the Start Menu.

Not everyone has the same level of knowledge of many of the window shortcuts the rest of us use daily. Happy New Year....

Other times it's because he THINKS he knows what he's talking about when he obviously doesn't.
