Pinned start menu/taskbar shortcuts gone

Question

I just restarted my Windows 7 PC to find all my pinned shortcuts have disappeared from the start menu and taskbar. I've looked here
"%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned"
And it seems the shortcuts are still there. Is there maybe a service that isn't running, which is causing this problem? Thanks.

Solution

Ahh, sorted it. I just deleted the shortcuts in the folder above, and then added them again. Dunno what caused it though. Thanks.
