Same thing happened to me, been maybe a few years ago by now, and I would 
really like to regenerate the original start menus. 

It's one of my very few complaints about TDE. It seems to me that it must have 
something to do with the lower panel. (Or, for me it's the lower panel; I 
guess users can put it where they want, which sort of leads to the problems I 
just mentioned.) 

Whenever I unlock the lower panel, I tend to make whatever changes quickly, 
then lock it again immediately. Otherwise, I accidentally hit the wrong 
command (don't know what), or a click on something unintentionally (again, 
don't know what I do here), and next thing I know, the lower panel and its 
icons are all askew. The panel sometimes gets moved from the lower part of 
the screen to one side or another, which is really bad, maybe sometimes on 
top. And everything gets messed up, then I must spend some time putting 
everything right again. 

In order to make changes to the applications menu, you must unlock the lower 
panel; thus, I imagine, it's related to that issue about locking/unlocking 
the lower panel. 

I assume that we mean the same thing: the start menu button, and the list of 
applications that pops up when you click the start menu icon. If not, please 
correct me, as that's a separate issue. 

Anyway, at bottom, same problem, I think. I have whole categories (such as 
Internet) that have disappeared from my start menu. I have tried to replace 
them manually, tried to find some way to regenerate them, to restore them to 
their original state, but no luck.
