Post subject: Error in HKLM Shell Folders Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsnt>registry (more info?)
Hi,
I have a great problem with the Windows XP Local registry: i don't see the
Programs menu, only seeing an '(Empty)' advertising... but if i accessing by
Windows Explorer, the Programs menu contents exists into D:\Document and
Settings\user\Menú Inicio\Programas, but no into via Start -> Programs menu.
Seeking into Registry, are missing a Common Programs key (into
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders). If i
set the key (D:\Documents and Settings\user\Menú Inicio\Programas), the
contents of Programs menu reappears in the next reboot, but in the 2nd
reboot (or Closing Session) again appears the '(Empty)' sign. My customer
don't want upgrade to Service Pack 2.

The Reg_Sz sting values in;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
are dynamically altered according to the Reg_Expand_Sz strings found in;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
You must use regedt32.exe to edit / create Reg_Expand_Sz strings.
