Hi everybody - I'm just testing out the Windows 7 Beta (build 7000), and I ran into a bug. I did the "Send Feedback" thing, so here's what I posted:

I experienced a crash that appears to have permanently disabled the "Documents" entry on the start menu. I'm not sure if it matters, but I had set the Documents folder to display as a menu instead of display as a link. I clicked on the start menu, right-clicked on the Documents entry, selected properties, clicked on "Include a folder...", and navigated to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" (I think - I might have just stopped at the "Start Menu" folder; I don't remember exactly). After selecting the folder, I clicked on "Apply" in the "Documents Properties" window, and it froze (stopped responding). I left it for a couple of minutes, and then figured it had gone out to lunch permanently. I right-clicked on the taskbar-entry and forced the task to end.

None of that was a big deal, but now my "Documents" entry is broken. If I mouse-over it on the start menu, it displays an "(empty)" folder, but if I right-click on it and select "Properties" I get a pop-up box that says "The properties for this item are not available." If I open the "Libaries" folder in Windows Explorer and double-click on "Documents", nothing happens. No error message, nothing - it stays at the "Libraries" location.


Does anyone know if there's a fix to get that entry in the start menu working again?
