Start Menu Not displaying in Windows XP?

shassouneh
Dear All, For some reason my start menu now doesn't load the programs section. If I switch to classic start menu, then go to programs it says empty, but if i right-click and explore I can find everything under the start menu! I need to use the start menu for several reasons.

How to close open files on Win2K

TrueBavarian
I'm administering a Windows 2000 server used as Terminal Server. Some 20+ people are working on that box so the easy way to fix my problem, a reboot, is not possible during working hours. The problem is, there's a couple of files locked (open) by users locally (not over network connection) which I need to delete.

Can anyone provide a short list of applications that do not get along with XP. I'd like to run Symantec Systemworks since I just bought it and AutoCAD and Inventor but anything else I can replace. .

change windows console font

Chris Lux
Kind of a silly question, but is there any way to get windowsXP to recognize different font options for the command prompt? I have a few other FON and TTF files installed (some of which support the DOS codepage), but the only options seem to be Raster Fonts and Lucida Console.
