I am running XP Home. For a few days whenever I access the Start Menu, over half the programs are highlighted as new programs, which they are not. Anyone have any ideas as to how to get rid of this?
Are you logged in as a "limited user"? I have not encountered this problem, but have experienced similarly silly problems which could be solved by changing the account status to "administrator". Later you can change back to limited status and the problem won't come back.
Just used the Start Menu and the highlighting has all disappeared. I know it was there at supper time today. Honest. The problem is solved but I wonder why it happened in the first place?
