OOOPs I need some help please

[Numb]

Somehow I have removed all the shortcuts from my programs folder, i.e. they no longer show up when i press start, all i get is

Today
Programs
Settings

If I go into programs all i see is the games folder

I can still run the programs from their defualt folders.

Anyone know a quick way to reinstall all these shortcutS or am I going to have to do them all manually ?

Not sure i even know what files types (shortcuts) or where they should be.

I am assuming they should be in /windows/programs as it is nothing there ?

Help



Cheers, Numb

OK sorry for wasting yer time, admins remove or delete as you feel fit.

For the record though, not that anyone is likely to ever do this but....

This is how I believe I caused the problem

It started when I was trying to load an irc app on my phone.

I needed to put the app in /windows/startmenu and run from there

I copied across from my desktop

Using resco explorer I went into /windows/startmenu but it wasn't there.

So foolishly i started playing around and somehow in properties decided to untick/tick the hidden box for attributes

The result was that all files in /start menu/program folder were hidden

So by changing it back (somehow!!) through the properties, attributes, it's now all back.

So if your still reading this (fools) sorry, user error on a big scale.
