somehow, Windows' ability to save a list of frequently used programs has been disabled
from your PC..
a change in the Windows Registry from a computer policy program may have caused it..
anyway, you can revert it back to its default setting by following a few simple steps:
- highlight and copy red bold text below to Notepad..
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList"=dword:00000000
- open Save As from File menu
- select All Files from Save As Type drop-down menu
- save file with a .reg extension, as in newfile.reg
- locate and right-click newly-created file then select Merge
- when prompted, click Yes
- logoff and log in back to Windows to effect change
after this, you should be able to see the list again on that empty space..
remember, this tweak only applies to the Enhanced Start Menu view, not the Classic
one..
