Start menu - items on far left have disappeared

When I click on Start, the part of the Start menu *directly* above the Start
button is completely empty. To the right of that, there is the usual My
Documents, My Computer, Control Panel, etc. However, the left side is 100%
blank. Any idea how to get the items to show back up again, please? I've
explored my Start Menu and made sure the shortcuts are there for the items,
which they are...they're just not showing up. Any help is greatly
appreciated! Thank you in advance! - Amy

Look for Start Menu, and Taskbar tweaks here:

A few to try:

117. Restore Taskbar and Start Menu
167. Force Classic Start Menu - Undo
169. Enable or Disable Pinned Items on the Start Menu
