I dont know why but after I done a perfect clone of my harddrive using casper xp ..some of my icons in the windows start menu > all programs section have stopped showing. I check the actual folders for these programs and the icons are there but in the start menu > all programs there are not.

Is there a quick fix for this?

I've been searching the net for the last hour and found something about removing the shellcache file or something like that but I can't find it. I am showing hidden files also and have tweak xp installed.

I am also having the same problem. Also I am missing my log off icon next to the turn off icon. I created another user account and that has the all programs and log off icon..... Any help would be much appreciated. I have been trying to find a solution to this problem for weeks now.... Not much out there....

Try clicking Set Program access & defaults.

If no luck, you can either migrate the contents of the problematic account to the new working account or you can copy the icons to the new account.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Menu\

or

C:\Documents and Settings\Default\Start Menu\Programs\Start Menu\

or

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Start Menu\

to your folder.

Just copy and paste your own files like bookmarks, favorites, etc. on C drive from the old user folder to the new one.

Do NOT delete the old account until 1 week later cuz you MIGHT have forgotten something and you'd be SOL if that's the case.

Thanks Dude
