Fix (Empty) XP Start Menu Programs

August 08th, 2007

Have you ever clicked on Start > Programs and instead of being presented with a list of 50 of your programs, it says (Empty)? Not to worry–here’s a simple fix:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Run with adequate privileges and restart. That ought to do it.
