Documents option in start menu is missing
Hi Chi,
Did you by chance use TweakUI to remove it? If so put a check next to "Show Documents on Start Menu" and " Add new documents to Documents on Start Menu". If not, install TweakUI. Launch it and go to the IE tab. If they are checked, uncheck and save. Then recheck them and save.
