Iyiyiyi, this is driving be bonkers and I am sure I am missing something. Usually I can go to Start/Programs and all my progs come up, now for some (my fault I'm sure) reason only two show the rest remain hidden (I unhid everything in the file itself and can get at what I want (in a seperate window) but they are not showing up in the Start menu).
If I left click on Programs I can open the file and then see the folders, with the exception of the two progs that do show when I click Programs all my others appear faded but I can still access them. GAH! I have tried going into Properties at various places but have not found an option that will let me change what ever caused this to happen. I have absolutely no idea what has happened here and hope I've explained it enough to make this delema understandable. I have as far as I know not changed any settings recently to cause this stupidity.
Running WinME but I think its basically the same for 98x versions as far as changing where things are and how they are accessed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance!

Well, since nobody had an easy answer I bit the bullet and individually 'un-hid' everything, iyiyi, 200+ steps later everything is back where it should be. I still have no idea why or how this happened but what a pain! Oh well.
