hi

I need help again!!! I am missing the "all programs "tab
off of my start menu. The pc helpdesk have told me that
this is due to a corrupt registry file & that I need to
completely wipe the pc. I REALLY dont want to do this

Please can anyone help.

Many thanks

Hi

Will this keep everything that I have on my pc, but just
repair the corrupt file?

Ive only ever done a complete wipe so this is a new one
on me.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks

The pc helpdesk needs to be fired for incompetence.

do a full restore or to go to the command prompt
