[puppetgrimm1]

I recently tried to add items to the start menu by right clicking a program where i should be able to select pin to start menu but there are no options to selecting anything. is there something I can do to correct this wjthouy reinstalling? also I am the only one with administrator access.

P.S. I am running win XP Pro

Thanks for any help
