| | Start Menu links I have just lost my 'Windows' links in the start menu - y'know those to Defender, DVD Maker, Meeting Space etc. I have tried system restore but that didn't do anything. Apart from working through a list and having to put the links back by hand, is there a quicker way that won't upset my PC too much. Will a restore from the installation disk do it? |

Yes the restore fuction from the installation dvd can restore these for you, It might be easyier to create a new user account and copy the links from there? |
