i've recently installed winxp corp and everything is ok except for this irritating problem where there's nothing on the programs button. everytime i installed a new program, the program groups are nowhere to be found, except when i right-click and open and there it is. how do i get the groups to be seen on the start menu? i know this might be a petty little problem but it bugs me and if someone can tell me what to do, i'll really appreciate it. thanks.

Control Panel> TOOLS (on menu bar)> folder options> view tab Look around to see if something needs to be checked or clicked.

no man i don't see any problems with the folder options. i think it goes deeper than that, i don't know. do i need to install something, maybe?

Right click on the task bar at the bottom of the screen, select Properties, then switch to Classic view.
