SQL Server Program Group - GONE

[rayway]

I have no idea what I have done but after restarting my computer the SQL Server Program Group is gone and the Service Manager icon is no longer in the taskbar. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can rebuild the Program Group and install the Service Manager Icon in the taskbar?

By the way I have also lost all of the icons under Administrative Tools as well.

Before you work on the SQL Server issue, you need to find out what happened to your files. Based on your losing icons from the Admin folder, it looks like some files may have gotten deleted (worst case)...but first go to the admin folder and see if 'show hidden files' is selected. It may just be that they are not visible to you (best case). Once you figure out where the files are, then work on SQL Server. The problem is that you may have lost SQL Server files also.

But, depending on what you really mean by: SQL Server Program Group...

Using Enterprise Manager, right click on Microsoft SQL Servers to add a new group.
