| | Start menu history shortcuts wont work. Hi New to group so apologies if this has been asked before. Some of the recently used programs wont run from the LH pane of the start menu, only from the all programs list. Trivia but annoying. Programs that wont run from there include all the Office 2000 apps and Google earth. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance kev |

| | Re: Start menu history shortcuts wont work. Kev, Excellent! You may leave it disabled. Or if you need that context menu action, you may want to contact the software manufacturer to know if an update is available. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "superkev" <superkev@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C1E157EB-EB09-4485-A30B-A6529D56BEEB@microsoft.com...

| | Re: Start menu history shortcuts wont work. If you have ATI Tray tools installed (ver 1.3.6.1042 in my case) try uninstalling it. The menu should be back to normal immediately - even without restarting PC (well that is how it worked in my case) "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: Quote: > Kev, > > Excellent! You may leave it disabled.
