You might want to try the registry fix available here.

ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS displays, but it is empty. I need a list of programs
that should show, like EVENT VIEWER, etc.

Saving and running the .reg file did not work, even after reboot.

Here are two options you can use. One will copy the default shortcuts into your
Administrative Tools folder. The second will help you create the shortcuts
manually.

Option 1.

Go to this web site and download the desktop.zip file.

http://home.comcast.net/~nepatsfan2005/desktop.zip

Extract the contents of this folder into your Administrative Tools folder.

Option 2.

Go to your Start menu and navigate to the Administrative Tools folder.
Right click on it and select Open from the menu.
In the Administrative Tools folder, right click an open spot in the right hand
pane and select New -> Shortcut from the menu.
Enter the following in the location box.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Com\comexp.msc

Click the Next button.
Name this new shortcut Component Services.
Hit the Finish button.

Follow the same procedure to create shortcuts with the following information.

Location = %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc /s
Name = Computer Management

Location = %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe
Name = Data Sources (ODBC)

Location = %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s
Name = Event Viewer

Location = %SystemRoot%\system32\perfmon.msc /s
Name = Performance

Location = %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s
Name = Services

Finally, open Notepad. Copy and Paste the following into Notepad. Save it as
Desktop.ini in the Administrative Tools folder.

[LocalizedFileNames]
Component Services.lnk=@C:\WINDOWS\system32\comres.dll,-661
Computer Management.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll, -22023
Event Viewer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22029
Performance.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll ,-22055
Data Sources (ODBC).lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22025
Services.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22059
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell 32.dll,-21762

Good luck

Nepatsfan
