When I first got my computer, my start->programs menu was just as I like it - normal, showing all the programs all the time.

Then, this weekend, I was changing my wallpaper on my desktop and windows asked me if I wanted to turn active desktop on. I said yes, and ever since my programs menu and all submenus show only some of the programs and have 2 down arrows for the rest, and when you click the arrows, some programs appear with light grey boxes around them.

I tried turning off active desktop but it didn't help. Does anyone know how I can get my programs menu back the way it was?
