Hey there Bert-
First, thanks for the quick reply. I have Windows ME, so
I have to come up with a way for him to do it himself. He
was playing...went to his CONTROL PANEL, then the WINDOWS
SETUP TAB, and although ACCESSORIES WAS ALREADY CHECKED,
he uncheck and checked it again, and then supposedly got
an ACCESSORIES label at the bottom of his programs list,
but it's only for communications...cable, etc. Nothing he
had before in there. Thanks...

Hi Steven,
The Start - Accessories group are nothing more than
shortcuts.
If you have Win98 also, right click on the Start Button
and select
Explore. Navigate to Start menu and expand the Programs
group.
Right click on Accessories and click Copy. Send the
copied folder
to your father by email. Have him right click on the
Start Button and
select Explore. Navigate to Start menu and expand it. Now
drag the
folder you sent him to the Programs group. When he goes
into the Start
button he may finds some bad shortcuts that do not apply
to his system.
He can then right click on them and delete them one by
one.

I can't figure this out. My father called long distance
with a problem. He used to go START PROGRAMS
ACCESSORIES
and then to wherever he needed to go. Now he claims
that
when he goes to START and PROGRAMS, there's no
ACCESSORIES
category as there always was, and the first one is
Adobe.
I thought maybe he needed to move up, but he claims
there
is no arrow because there are no additional categories.
Hope this makes sense and someone can help. Thanks.
