Right-click on the "Start" button and select 'Properties'.
Click on the 'Start Menu' tab at the top and then on the 'Customize' button.
Scroll down the list in the 'white' pane to the very last item :
"Use Personalized Menus" - and de-select (uncheck) it.
Click on [ok] then [ok] to exit.
All programs will be displayed all the time from then on...
