Help! Start Menu Program Links... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

twan5 · 08-23-2004, 12:00 PM

because i really DONT know what im doing when it comes to computers, i inadvertantly erased the program "links" in the program folder in the start menu... ( i was trying to elimate files in the startUP function, and was working too quickly...)

without them, i cant access some of the programs that are in my computer...

is there anyway to restore these "links?" are they located in another folder? i checked other users in the system, and i must have erased the mother folder that is linked to the other ones... oh boy...

thanks!

ps - im using windows 98

Unless you've backed up there's no easy way to restore those shorcuts. You'll want to go in to C:\Program Files and try to manually make some start menu short cuts.
If you were using XP I'd probably suggest you try a system restore. I don't think 98 has anything similar to that.
