XP Programs under Start Button missing

HI,

The last thing I remember is it was very dark and then there was this ...

seriously, when I click on the START button and then click on PROGRAMS I get an empty folder. I had just finished a webex share session with the vendor for opmanager but can't say for sure if this had anything to do with the loss of the folders content. I've checked the control pannel add/remove programs and they are all still there so I'm wondering if there is an easy way to repopulate the button without having to try a rollback. suggestions?

1- reboot, does that fix it?

2- if a reboot doesn't fix it, copy the contents of c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs into c:\documents and settings\<your user profile>\start menu\programs\
