No programs showing up on start menu Monday, February 8, 2010 at 11:31 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ronobir Ray (56 messages posted) I have Windows XP Professional SP3. Now when I click Start on top you have the name of the user for e.g. Administrator if you are logged in as the administrator. Below that there are the names of the default browser and mail program. Below that there used to be the shortcuts of the programs that have been recently or frequently used. This place has become empty for me. There is nothing there, no program name comes up. Can anyone help me here as to why there is no program name that is coming up. I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me that. TIA.
