After having disabled the "Store and display a list of recently opened files"
and "Store and display a list of recently used programs" options in the
Taskbar Properties dialog box, I realized I made a mistake because I didn't
want all the frequently used programs to disappear. So I re-enabled the
option to display the recently used programs.
Unfortunately, it still has no effect - I checked and unchecked and logged
off and restarted and still not a single program shows up in the start menu.
If anybody has an idea of what's going on, please help.

It takes a little before recently used programs start showing up on the
Start menu. When start using the apps more than once they will eventually
appear there.
