Vista - Adding programs to my start menu on XP Professional

I have a little problem that I have no idea how to fix and am hoping someone
can help. When you go to the Start menu on my desktop and click on programs
it says "empty"...all my programs have been deleted from that menu. Is there
a way I can add them all back? Restore them somehow. Right now, I have to go
into "My Computer" and find the program in there to open it up.

search the microsoft knowledge base for the answer.
known problem with a fix.

Where do I go for that?
