Open "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer".
Open your "C:\" drive.
Find the directory "Documents and Settings" and double click on it.
Find the directory "All Users" and double click on it.
Find the directory "Start Menu" and double click on it.
Find the directory "Programs" and double-click on it.
Now drag and drop the stuff from your desktop back into that folder.
Click on your start button and go to "All Programs".
You should see what you just dropped there.
All the start menu contains is in two folders:
"C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Start Menu\"
and
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\"
