I have a question about Why 
are some entries missing from the Start Menu?:


hi everyone,

Not only do I have the above problem, I also lost all the following functions, as 
in nothing happens, no crash, no popup menu - just nothing :

1.  SEARCH button in window explorer 
2.  ^F & F3 function in window explorer 
3.  Macro-F  in WinXP system
(however in Internet Explorer, IE, the SEARCH, 

I've installed TweakXP Pro & Tweak UI, both of which I've already enabled SEARCH 
function. 

System :  WinXP Corporate Edition

Thank you.

Fixed! I did a few things but i suspect that removing and re-installing the indexing function from the "add windows components" thingy is what clinched it. If that doesn't help let me know and i'll try and remember what else i did, bearing in mind it was more than 5 minutes ago! ;-)

I have the same problem with the 'Search' option not appearing on my Start menu any longer. I also was missing the 'Run' option as well, and regedit.exe was no longer working. Also I can no longer right click on an icon or file and get the dropdown menu (which I believe is called the context menu) to appear. It initially was caused by spyware, or so it appeared. As removing some spyware with XoftSpySE gave me back the 'run' option on the start menu, and allowed regedit.exe to function again, but I am still not able to right click and get a drop down menu, nor does the 'Search' option appear in the Start menu. I removed and reinstalled the indexing function as you stated, but that didn't help me at all. Do you happen to remember what else you did to get the 'Search' option back? Thanks in advance ! Rob
