Ever since I changed users passwords, many of them have an empty "Programs" folder. This is not affecting all users--just some. We use Windows 2003 server and log in via terminal server. All windows updates have been applied.

I don't know how to get the Programs to show. Any ideas????

I've come across before and checking registry found in the ....Windows\Explorer\Shell Folders and User Shell Folders that the "Start Menu" key had been changed from the default (dont ask me how) but if you set it back to
"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu" or "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu"
as appropriate, the issue seemed to resolve
