Just installed service pack 3 for my old Windows XP computer and both my Pictures and My Music folders have dispapeared from my Start menu.

I have gone into the start menu properties and tried all available options to show my Pictures/music as a menu etc but to no avail.

Any ideas?
 
Are the folders/files themselves missing or shut the shortcuts to them?
 
Maybe try switching back to classic start menu and then back to whatever the other one is called ("non classic"?) lol

-edit-

Just saw your folders are missing - did you do a search incase they got moved somehow? I suppose that makes sense as to why they are no longer on your start menu. AFAIK it has the ability to validate shortcuts and remove them if non-existent/broken.

Strange things are afoot in this household. Both the folders and shortcuts have now returned. I did as suggested and changed to Classic view to no avail, changed the windows themes a couple of times and then back tp XP mode and bingo.

Thanks for your advice.
 
Thanks, although what I suggested apparently didn't fix it :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
