Start Menu folders missing?

Sat, 2009-03-07 03:49 by Mystic Fox · Forum/category:

I'm running Windows Vista and I recently noticed that a lot of my folders are missing from my Start menu, such as the Accessories folder and the Games folder. I think it's been like this for a long time so any sort of System Restore won't work. Is there another way to get these back? I checked the actual Start menu folders to see if they even exist and yes they're there. But for some reason they don't show up in the actual menu.
