Strange Behavious of the "Favorites" on "start menu"

[eXTREME2002]

HOWDY
Like anyone who use Internet Explorer, i have my own list of "Favorites" where some of them are organized in categories (folders). The weird thing i discovered nowadays is that the "Favorites" item on the start menu does show me the categories only of my favorites list without the links themselves - Just it shows me empty filders - i checked the path:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites
And ALL my favorites were already there but the strange thing is that i can't see my links when i use the "Favorites" of the start menu - i just see the empty folders (catgories). The favorites menus in windows explorer and IE are still OK and can see all my links in both but this is not the case with the Favorites on the "Start Menu" - i know it's a very weird and idiot problem but it droves me nut and i hope i described the problem in a suitable way to understand - any ideas ? - THX

P.S. My system is Windows 2000 SP4

Hmm, tried restarting your computer?

I haven't used 2k, but in XP you can enable/disable the favorits menu from expanding out. Maybe turn that feature off, reboot, then turn on again.
