Using non classic start menu kills icons

Hello All

If I use the non-classic start menu in Vista SP1, some desktop icons
disappear, including My Computer, Internet Explorer. Control Panel and my
user folder. If I switch back to classic start menu, they reappear.

Any ideas about what's going on? In the start menu properties,customize
menu, these icons are selected.

Thanks.

Re: Using non classic start menu kills icons

Thanks Shawn. That actually worked. I took the check marks out of the icon
boxes, applied, then put them back and applied again, and it reset
everything.

Thanks.
