My Problem. Lol

Okay, about a week ago my sister used my laptop and got me a virus, i got rid of the virus but it deleted all the program shortcuts in my start menu, does anyone know how i can get these back? I would really appreciate it.

uhh right click --> pin to start menu? or do you mean the defaults?

I think he means that all the Programs listed under Start>All Pregrams got deleted.

I would try running the installers for your programs and select the repair option if they have it.

You might try adding them here also
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current Username*\Start Menu\Programs

Dunno if this will work or not, but it is worth a shot...

Open notepad, and copy and paste the following:

@echo off
echo Y|reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList /t REG_DWORD /d 0 > NUL
echo Y|reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoStartMenuMorePrograms /t REG_DWORD /d 0 > NUL

Save this as "repair.bat". Run this file.
Restart your computer. If it worked, your stuff should be back.

Hope that will work for you ;)

Hmm you could always run the uninstall for the program and repair it.
