    All program gone in the start menu!?
    « on: April 05, 2011, 10:38:12 AM »
    I accidently deleted all the 'all program' in the start menu. Now it's all empty in the start menu.

    How am I supposed to import all those program and accessories, microsoft office again?

    I have a feeling you have only disabled "all programs" in start menu.

    Please read the information & instructions from this website on re-enabling it.

    Hopefully it solves your problem.

    Good Luck  :)

    If you did actually delete them, you can use file recovery software to get the files back (if there hasn't been too much drive activity since then).

      I didn't just disabling the ''all program'', I right click on the all program and delete it. Because it duplicated.

      The enabling ''all program'' not works for me...

      I don't have a recovery software installed either. No check point saved..

      What i left in the all programs are ''window update'', ''program update'', and ''Default program

      Cant find a way to load up all those program as before

          one way to add programs to start menu ... click on the program's icon (doesn't matter if it's already a shortcut or it's the actual program EXE itself), and click pin to start menu and you'll have it there. See sample screenshot below if you need help

            at the end of the day, I need to add the deleted program 1 by 1. There's no shortcut to browse all program in once..

            Anyway, thanks all your guides and helps!!
