recent run programs not showing up on xp start menu

The winXP Start menu usually show the 10 or so most recently used programs.

Now, after I ran a registry cleaner, this has stopped. Ho can I fix this
to make it work again? It looks like everything is set up for it to work
correctly.

any ideas?

Thanks!

 

You may like to mention which cleaner, what options you selected like
clear or disable or maybe both.

Uh... YEAH!

Sooooo... then, you don't have any ideas yourself? You just gotta be a
smartass? I tried web searches first, Einstein. Nothing fit my problem.

Don't respond unmless you have the specific answer to a specific problem.

Killfiles enabled.

 

So it can't be a problem if 'looks like everything is set up'.

Yes read the information about the start menu / properties, clearing
items, viewing items , number of items , pin to menu options.

So you also forgot to mention that, that's your fault by omission.
As mentioned before the following words apply -

battery , crystal , flat and ball.

Oh now I am scared, the unmless is after me.

That's another idiot that can't read the information about the start
menu / properties, clearing items, viewing items , number of items , pin
to menu options. Or specify if it's the user / system / user pin part
of the menu.

Anyway you didn't answer the question about the registry cleaner, or
since you are so mart yourelf you didn't think it wise to turn on any
logging , undo facility of get a registry cleaner that has those
features.

Then of course , making your own backup before making changes, sort of
like the warning about 'edit the registry at your own risk' that nearly
every site mentions that deals with registry edits.

This looks like a good search,
www.google.com - xp start menu recent used
even better
www.google.com - xp start menu recent show hide

The only smart thing you may have done this year. Lucky me.

disable values.
