Hello,

While going through the list of Programs in Startup, I noticed that under Startup Programs, alongwith other installed programs, there's one more folder by the name of PROGRAM itself and it contains the exact copy of all the programs as it was in the Startup menu. So what I did was, I deleted that PROGRAMS folder and after sometime I had a need to reboot my system and to my surprise all my programs in STARTUP menu was lost.

I'm totally confused as there were lots of programs installed and now I don't know how to get that list of programs back on the STARTUP menu.

Please help me.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi there. The exact same thing just happened to me. In search type any letter e.g. "a" followed by *.exe so a*.exe and this will return all executable programs beginning with a, you can do the same for all other letters. we didn't delete the main copy of our stuff, just short cuts. But I don't recognize half of them and don't know where they are supposed to go. Did you manage to recover yours? if so I would like to know how.
Regards
Justin
