Add programs to All Programs folder in XP
I recently had to reinstall Windows XP.
As a result all my old programs are still on the machine however none of them show up in the All Programs section of the Start Menu in XP.
Is there any way to populate that folder with those programs?
Thanks.

I had installed windows back from the scratch. I had installed everything here. There was some problem with my system. There was a virus issue. So I formatted my pc. I installed all the applications like browser, office suite, and other download manager. I am facing a bit weird issue with my pc. The start menu is not having all the icons of applications installed on the same. I tried re-installing the program again but still I cannot see the shortcut icons in the start menu. Can anyone help me here to fix the issue.

What edition of windows xp are you having. I think you are using a pirated copy due to which you are getting the problem. I will recommend you to simply get a proper cd for the same. The setup that you are trying to install is itself buggy. So you are facing such kind of problem. Just try to reformat with some other working disc and then check back. I am sure that will be more than enough to fix the problem.

That is due to some weird edition of windows. I had also got the same kind of issue. The issue lies with an slipstream disc that my friend gave me. I used another one and it worked. There are some different editions which are the common cause of such issue. You just need to replace the disc and then check back. I am sure you will get what you are looking for.
