Hi

Have you tried to 'undo' the tweaks you made with Tweakxp? That program
could have caused the problem.

Q292504 has the answer. Delete the NoSimpleStartMenu registry value.

Check for the "NoSimpleStartMenu" value in both these locations:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
-and-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

See if this REG file helps.
D/l and save the file to Desktop. Right-click the file and choose Merge:
