All of my programs in the start menu have gone

[mrochester]

All of the programs I have installed have vanished from the start menu. The menu retains the folder structure that I organised, and all the original Vista programs are still there, but none of my own. What's going on and how do I get them back? It's very inconvenient to have to go through My Computer to start up all the programs I want.

Thanks in advance.

Michael.

Also, when I navigate to C:\User\Michael\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, everything appears in there as it should. It just isn't actually displaying in the start menu.
