"All programs" is missing from my start menu

When I open the Start Tab in Win XP Home, there is no longer a link for All
programs. The list is still there in documents and settings, but the link is
completely gone

WinXP Pro only :
1) Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc
2) Under User Configuration, Expand "Administrative Templates-Start Menu and Taskbar"
3) Right side, double click "Remove All Programs list from the Start Menu" and set it
to "Not Configured"


WinXP Home/Pro :
1) Start | Run | Type: regedit
2) Expand: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
3) Right side, delete the value "NoStartMenuMorePrograms"
4) Restart Explorer or Log off/Log on

Line 154: Remove "All Programs" from Start Menu - Undo
Click on the Undo portion.

See the top of the page for info on running the edit.

You, sir, are my hero. I only registered to tell you this. I work for a small PC store and we've had problems recently with viruses removing 'All Programs', etc. Everything else I tried didn't work, I've been near tearing my hair out. Anyway, thank you!
