Hi everyone.
Since some time my entire start menu disappeared! My whole list of all installed programs is not there anymore. Also the shortcuts for the Windows XP Tour, Windows Update etc. disappeared suddenly, too! I didn't change anything on my PC, I really don't know what happened!
Here a screen shot ("Leer" means "empty", "Programme" means "programs"):
The main strange thing is, that all the folders for my start menu are there (in the "Documents and Settings" folder), but not shown in the programs entry of the green Start button. Also all entries for "All Users" are there (also in the "Documents and Settings" folder), but all are not shown on the green Start button. Here three more screen shots:
My personal start menu folders are there, but not on the green Start button on the programs entry:
The "All Users" start menu shortcuts and folders are also there, but not on the green Start button on the programs entry, too:
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Have you tried to do a system configuration restore? Usually these strange problems disappear after done this.

Just in case, did you check if the startmenu shortcuts aren't hidden or read-only ?
Did you try to copy the existent shortcuts from each folders (all users, you) ?
Did you try to create a new shortcut (from your desktop or directly from the "Programme menu") ? Then check what's happens.
Edit.
BTW, did you try also to check the properties of this menu ? I mean by doing a right click from the taskbar, then choose properties > start menu > personalize > advanced settings.
Sorry I don't know the english version of Windows XP, so here's a pic, maybe he can help you (check the step 3 above Network favorites).
I thought that you alluded to the 30 days registry limit.could it be a registry problem?
