you can try to do it yourself:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID.

"DefaultIcon" key


{1A9BA3A0-143A-11CF-8350-444553540000} - Favorites
{2559a1f0-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} - Search
{2559a1f1-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} - Help and Support
{2559a1f3-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} - Run...
{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} - Network Connections
{D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153} - Administrative Tools


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic
rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\CLSID:

{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} - Control Panel

Have a second look. If they are not there then you also won't have anything in your start menu.

HK_CLASSES_ROOT goes through the abc two times. The CLSID key is in the second round.
