Hello.

The section of the start menu that lists the last X used programs doesnt seem to be working anymore. I do not remember changing anything that would cause this. I have tried incrementing the amount of programs it lists but this did not work, i have tried clearing the list so it can start again but this didnt work. Any ideas?
 
compgirghredi,

1. Start, run, sfc /Scannow

You want in particular to make sure UXTHEME.dll is replaced from the XP distribution disk;

2. right-click a blank area of the desktop, Properties, Themes. Select "Windows Classic"

3. You may have to reinstall XP to fix the problem completely.
