Re: Applications missing

Thanks for your reply. When I look at my C drive some of the programs are
missing. I have a feeling I will end up reformatting and I just did a
complete reformat last month. grrrrr I tried to do a system restore and it
refuses to restore back to my last restore point. Any suggestions? Thank
you.

Linda, I didn't mean anything rude but at the same time we come across
questions here when people aren't sure whether they want Windows
Explorer or Internet Explorer. Both can do the same job if you look at
it from an experienced user!. I have browsed the web with Windows
Explorer - hard to believe but true!!!

Any way, can you browse/see your c-drive? Has it got anything on it
when you look at it with Windows Explorer?

It looks like all the shortcuts have been deleted and now this needs to
be rebuilt slowly. But first let us know whether you can see anything
on the see drive. I am not talking about shortcuts on Start, All
Programs etc etc.

Hope to hear from you.

I don't understand what you mean by am I doing it correctly. I have used a
pc for over 10 years and I know to open any programs on your pc you click
start then all programs and when that's clicked all your downloaded programs
show up. Mine are no longer listed. None of them. The applications problem
is in Explorer. Right click on start then click explore. The list of
applications are missing. They have been there ever since I purchased a new
pc when XP was first introduced. I use the explore section on a daily basis
and I know every program etc that was listed there. I check it daily to make
sure nothing has been added to my pc that I didn't know about. Thanks for
your reply.

Are you doing it correctly? Try this:

Start, All Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:

I'm missing applications in my IE 6.0. When I opened IE by doing a right
click on start, applications was always the first category under Local
Disk
(C:) None of the applications are there. How can I get the section back
in
IE. Every program on my pc works perfectly. I wanted to check settings
under the applications and found the entire category was missing. Please
help.

IE is an internet browser. What applications do you expect it to have?
