Programs disappear from All Programs in XP

The Problem:-
When you Click Start button and navigate to "All Programs",you find the menu is missing.





Resolution 1:   The only way I found around it was to do a system restore to a previous date and that fixed the problem
Resolution 2:
Start>Run>Regedit>ok
Now navigate to the following keys:-
HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell FoldersSet Start Menu value to "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu"

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders Set Common Start Menu value to "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu"

Close the registry editor and restart the machine
