Strange Start Menu Problem

[mrochester]

Hello.

I've got a problem with my start menu in Vista that has just popped up. As you can see from the screen shot, under 'all programs' there is a folder called 'programs' which holds a mirrored copy of what is already in the start menu. This has happened to me before, and when I tried to fix it by deleting the 'programs' folder, it deleted everything from my start menu.

How do I get rid of it safely?

Thanks!

Michael.

I've just realised it's not a mirrored copy, but that's because I moved the 'administrative tools' folder after this happened.

I had this happen after installing an application, i simply went into properties and changed it to "Classic Start Menu" then back to Vista style
