rebuild start menu

My suggestion would be just copy the shortcut(s) of the
program(s) to
your start menu folder. 

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuPrograms

A re-install may, or may not work. <shrug>

Thanks Charles, I've done the copy/paste thingy, That works
but I was hoping
for a more 'real' fix for this. He now has access to all his
stuff thru the
start menu, 
Thanks again,
Bruce
